    The hyraxes do have a lot of character (not surprising for the closes genetic relative to the elephant I suppose), and I like this shot.

    I do however find the background a little distracting. A different angle with more distance between subject and background would have been great. But I do know that is not always possible :)

    I think the BG looks "distracting" because it is such good camo for the hyraxes. It really makes you look for them to keep your focus! I agree that it would have been a stronger composition with more distance and more of the BG OOF but this is also nice in that it shows their environment.

    I don't mind the BG at all, this is where they live. I'd like a bit of a head angle for the one on front though, but you get only what they want to give you :)

    Rosl,
    I like composition. The front one could have had better eye contact but I don't mind it so much. I would bring down the colour temperature a bit. I like the way they are positioned in the rock crevices.
    Cheers,
