Cute portrait. But he looks a little nervous, sitting so close to your avatar image.

Meerkats always look nervous - that's why they are so great to watch. They live hair-trigger lives.

Nice shot Jeremy, although I wonder if the eyes are a bit out of focus?

Very nice portrait!. Colors, lens background blur all contribute to the success of your photo.

Cute portrait. Nothing quite as intimidating as hearing the roar of a mighty meerkat nearby when hiking. Kinda like a terrrier on helium.

Thanks, all!

Eric: they were taken on the same day, a few hundred yards apart.

Ed: I don't think so. The eyes are not quite as pin-sharp as the nose but they're pretty good.

Francois: thanks - a fair bit of credit goes to the new engine in LR3, which has done a great job on the noise reduction. The shot was taken on a 5d2 at ISO3200 and lacked any of the background smoothness when I processed it in LR2.

Nice rat portrait. Gnarly gnoise in the background, tho.

So you snapped the meerkat and then handed him the camera and said "now will you please take one of me", and then you put on your best smile...

Still a better option than handing the camera to that young 'tourist' in sneakers and expecting him still to be there when you are 'ready' and look up with the perfect smile!

I think that's the result of conversion to jpeg. It looks pretty smooth in LR, even at 100%.
