[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another (pff..) Lemur I like to share, dear friends.
Underexposed a bit and made it somewhat less brighter mainly to get back the detail in the white parts, the highlights; sunny weather conditions with hard contrast obliged me to do this to a certain extent.
Further on some minor adjustment in ACR through trial and error...
PP in PSCS2.

Wiki:
Mostly grey with white underparts, the Ring-tailed Lemur has a slender frame; their narrow face is white with black lozenge-shaped patches around the eyes, and a black vulpine muzzle. The lemur's trademark, the long, bushy tail, is ringed in black and white. Like all lemurs, the Ring-tailed Lemur has hind limbs longer than their forelimbs; the palms and soles are padded with soft, leathery skin. Their fingers are slender and dextrous with flat, sharp nails. The Ring-tailed Lemur has claws on the second toe of the hind limb specialized for grooming purposes.

The very young animals have blue eyes while the eyes of adults are all a striking yellow. Adults may reach a body length of 46 centimetres (18 inches) and a weight of 5.5 kilograms (12 pounds). Their tails are longer than their bodies, at up to 56 centimetres (22 inches) in length.

Hi Annick,
Superb shot. I like its stunned expression and the big yellow eyes. Very sharp details and neat focus. The blurry BG is nice too as is the controlled lighting. Very nicely composed and framed. Kudos.
TFS.

What a great portrait of this interesting animal. You have succeeded very well with the PP work considering that it was underexposed from the start.

I like the frame and the crop.

Bonne journée.

Hi Annick,
A great frontal portrait showing a serious and even intelligent glance. Awesome details, sharpness, colours and pose.
TFS, José M.

Hi Annick,
I like this as it looks more like an evening light picture and although you have to look hard in places the detail is there.

Peter

Ha Annick,

Prachtig portret van deze ringstaart
Zo moet je tegenwordig ook op het Nederlandse paspoort staan(LOL) beide oren zichtbaar en niet lachen.
Perfect oog contact
Scherpte, POV, DOF, Kleur en achtergrond zijn uitstekend

I love the human-like expression of this lemur. Each face's hair is in focus. Fantastic portrait.

Cheers

Hi Annick

Another outstanding portrait from you!
The facial expression here is again fantastic and your POV is simply perfect for it!
The colors of those big bubbly eyes makes tham stand out even better :)
Excellent details and DOF, the latter also giving you a lovely blurred BG.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Comme il est mignon avec ses beaux yeux, magifique détails.
