    Beautifully done, Chris. I like the way you captured the eyes and light on the ears best- probably the best bush baby image I've seen. I don't even have a bad one:)

    Eish Chris! This is beautiful. Apart from the eyes, I think the composition is exceptional.

    Excellent shot Chris. Wonderful how you kept the eyes looking normal yet taken at night with flash. Great picture.

    I like the stare and exposure control. Is there a slight green cast?

    Chris,

    Great image, can I just ask (because I have no idea) is it OK to use flash on nocturnal animals like these?
