Lemur

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a large strepsirrhine primate

and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed

tail.The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to

30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs.

Despite being listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List and

suffering from habitat destruction, the ring-tailed lemur reproduces

readily in captivity and is the most populous lemur in zoos worldwide,

numbering more than 2000 individuals. It typically lives 16 to 19

All helpful comments welcome.

You brought these cutes remarkably, here you have a high quality lighting and superb details while the colors do add to the wildlife atmosphere, I like the expression on the faces, specially the one on the fore ground and how clear his eye here.

Thank you for sharing it my friend and wishing you all of the best.

Very difficult to resist.  This one looks different from the others.  It's more even in terms of exposure.  I guess that's because the important colours are dark in this case?  best, j

Really beautiful work with very nice lighting, Ramesh!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Excellent shot with very good exposure & colour tonality.

It will be beneficial for others if you can include the EXIF info too.

Ramesh, A great image of these. I like the way they are positioned on their platform and the intensity with which they are looking at something. Nicely exposed and detailed. I really like the contrast of the lemurs against the dark background and wood tones. 

Very cute!  Well done.  Very sharp and clear.  Learning.   Thanks for your encouragement.  Best Regards,
