I think it's a boy. Why not a vertical, or at least, lower in the frame?

Artie,
This is full frame clearly I needed to be wider or at least left more room at the top, my reflexes are not what they were:D
Ken,
This is a cute fellow. I would love to see a wider composition. Thanks for sharing. I had never heard of this Xakanaka provice. Thanks for taking us there.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

FWIW, I've tried to develop the habit of shooting a bit wider than I think I like. Not easy to do because you really like to compose in the viewfinder. Especially after shooting 35mm chromes for years. I usually compose then back off a bit. Nothing like a zoom lens!!!!
