I'd love to see one in the wild, let alone get a shot as good as this. Really fine environment shot.

Wow Ken! This is great detail and lighting. I really like the pose and the features of it's face. You nailed this one.

HI Ken,
The up-stretched arm and facial expression are what grabbed me about this image. Given that there's virtually no fixed "references" to assess the level/tilt of the shot, do you think it's worth rotating the image CCW so that the subject itself is more "perfectly" vertical? Not sure it would improve the shot, but if it was mine I'd experiment with it...
Cheers...
