Great light and who couldn't like such an endearing subject?

Meerkats are fantastic, nice shot. The oof grass behind the female is the only nit i have, but its a better image to have than not ;)

Works for me too, good light, typical pose, only minor nit for me is the piece of oof plant growing from the top of the head, easy to remove, the rest of the bg is fine for me.

Great shot. The OOF grass coming out of the top of the head doesn't bother me, as it is not too conspicuous.
