October 2024 - Lemur in Madagascar
About the Image(s)
I made a tour to Madagascar in the last week of August this year. There were a lot of chances to see different species of lemur. On the whole they are very agile and their ability to jump from trees to trees is amazing. The one in this photo is the Propithecus diadema, a relatively big lemur among others. Although natural predator is absent, this species is classified as endangered.

It is a good wildlife photo, showing the lemur in its natural environment. The animal is very sharp, and it makes me wonder what it is looking at. Maybe you don't need to show the whole tail to tell the story; so you can try cropping from the bottom and from both sides, so the animal occupies a much larger space in the picture.?

Hi Tony! What a treat to get to see these rare wildlife photos! You have captured the animal perfectly in the middle of action, and I think that the three tree trunks in shades of brown and gray make a fine background for his light fur. Posted: 10/13/2024 19:29:42
Nice capture. I might try to lighten the eyes that to my mind are somewhat lost in the darker surrounding fur. There might be a better crop that highlights the lemur more, but I can't suggest anything at this moment other than perhaps darkening the two sky / leaf sections at the top left Posted: 10/13/2024 23:37:26
I love the action of the Lemur in the tree.
Here is my suggested crop - by using the outer trees as a frame it eliminates the greenery on the edges of the frame and allows us to focus on the main subject. I also took the liberty of lightening the eyes by using "screen" in the "history brush" tool set at 22% Posted: 10/14/2024 17:09:20

I do not mind your present crop, but agree that replacing that bald sky with more leaves eliminates the bright spot. Posted: 10/14/2024 19:33:56
