Dancing Lemur

Sifakas are famous lemurs because of their ungainly movements over land. They move beautifully through trees, but whenever they have to cross a clearing it's like they are walking on hot coals. Timing is everything, and I took more than 350 shots of about a dozen sifakas to get this one image.

Thanks for any feedback

Seven and vote!

 

Best regards, Patrick!

Awesome image.

Cute and original.  A "one in a million" capture.

Congrats.

A stunning capture. Karl

That's a pretty amazing capture Patrick! You were quick. 

This image is probably more an economy of scale than an example of skill. I think this shot was #320 or so! But I'm very happy to have it and I sure appreciate all the positive feedback. Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

  Wow....amazing capture with beautiful colors, perfect timing & details.  Take care, Patsy

Hi Patrick, you sure have interesting images and this one is very interesting. It's a unique shot in a unique locality, the minute I see the image I thought that it's a Lemur and sure enough it is. Next thought in my mind was Madagascar since I had an anothropology clase many years ago and  learnt about Jane Goodall and Lemur + Madagascar somehow stuck to my mind since. Congrats to a good catch of a unique animal particular to a special locality.  Seems a bit soft but the moment and capture is very special! TFS!

a magnificent shot!  Well done!!

Amazing shot! Your diligence certainly paid off and I must thank you for staying with this unique creature to get the perfect shot! Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. :)

Thanks Patsy, Tm, Derek and Trisha! All feedback is valuable to me and your kind compliments are very thoughtful. I'm certainly grateful for the affirmation ;-)

Beautiful and beguiling. Great patience, perserverance and perfect timing. 

Simply superb!!!!

Great shot :D
Like a ballet dancer.
