Gotta love these sweet things. Great guard pose and I love the colors as well. Nice detail too. I only wish the horizon didn't intersect with the eye line but the horizon line intersecting thing seems to be an issue with me
Dunno why.

Terrific pose you captured on this creature. I have to agree with Cheryl on the placement of the horizon. Once you got this shot, I wonder if you could have positioned yourself lower and/or a little higher to move the horizon. I think this would have looked quite powerful from a lower POV. Your sky appears to have a little bit of purple/mauve in it. Is this the normal sky color at this location?

Hi Anette. Love this.. Agree with Cheryl's comment WRT horizon. I think I would have gone higher to put the horizon above the head.. The foreground might have become an issue otherwise..

Great image, nice light, colours and details. Issue with the Horizon already covered, also may look at a more pano style crop to loose a little of the sky?

Hi Anette - minor issues for me already covered above, this is an excellent image and I agree with Brendon's suggestion to try a pano crop. It looks great with a screen crawl crop from above.

Hi Anette, this one works well for me. Love the pose, the light, and the PP. Sky hue easily sorted out. Looking at this several times I feel that if the Meerkat's head was below the horizon, the image would be flat and lacking depth. If it were much more above it would stick out like a sore thumb against the mono sky. Pano crop might make it a bit better. Maybe a bit more at the foot, as Steve suggests.
I really like this one. Nicely done !!

Indeed one of your best... 
The light on this little chap is so sweet I actually wasn't bothered by the horizon!
Love the colours too.

These meerkats are darling! Can't wait to see one. I like seeing how the color of the meerkat blends so beautifully with the surrounding grasses. And I really like the graceful curves of the foreground grasses adding dimension to the blurred bkgd and the long, straight horizon line.

Great shot, Anette! Got to love the typical meerkat pose and the horizon line is not an issue for me.

Nice shot Anette. It captures the wide open space in which they live. No issues with the horizon for me either.
