Thanks. Our former President/CEO at my company was obsessed with meerkats and decided to turn them into our company mascot. I even got a little meerkat statuette trophy thing for winning a contract once. But once he left the company, the new President has quietly retired the little rodents back to the zoo.

That meerkat is after your camera - watch out! LOL
Agree with Hamish - great lighting on this one

Took my daughter to the zoo again and couldn't resist another shot at these little guys:
They were fascinated by a feather she was holding and followed her every move. They came over to me to get a closer look so I was completely on top of them to get this shot (50mm @f1.4).

I really like the 2nd with the shallow DOF. I took some photos of Meerkats a few weeks ago. Maybe we should have a Meerkat section in the forum (and of course, some adverts for car insurance)

This is simply wonderful Darren. I love it. Great decision to use a narrow depth of view.
