Hi Randy, an image the illustrates the playfulness of these animals. Good detail where it counts, in the face, especially the eyes. Some my feel the grass is annoying, but I'm cool about that, very little you could have done. Might suggest toning down the brighter leaf just by the front elbow RHS. Zoos are good to hone your skills, but can limit you POV/composition as it would have been great to get a lower perspective, but fully appreciate the restrictions in place.

PS Randy when posting a captive subject could you please add (C) in the title, thanks. :w3

Randy,

I suggest cropping from the bottom to just above the leaves that are cut along the bottom edge of the image.

Cute pose. Would have liked to see a bit more SS to freeze the foot motion. Also wish the tail wasn't cut off,
Gail
