Brown-throated three-toed sloth Costa Rica
Although we saw many sloths on our trip, none were in ideal photo situations. I did the best I could with this one scratching itself while dangling from the tip-top of a Cecropia tree.

Neat capture Milo. Not a common visitor to the photo forums. I looked at this for about 5 minutes before I realized his face was at the angle it was. I don't mind the high-key but I think it could use a little boost in contrast. I like the greenish cast of the fur (due to the moss growing on his body I assume)

Thanks, Robert. The contrast in my version was definately too low. Looks much improved. I had better contrast in an earlier version, but after posting, noticed I had not dealt with the vignetting, so I started over.
