[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Ruffed lemur is the largest of the true lemurs, measuring when full grown, four feet in length including the long tail of about two feet. The fur is long and soft, and the ears are hidden by a ruff of hair. The color pattern varies and may be different on the right and left sides of a specimen.

Lemurs do not swim so they kept on a island without fences.
Photo taken at the African Lion Safari park in southern Ontario.

Hi Sky.
What a nice shot. How interesting and rich scene you have captured. Great DOF. Very well reproduced all space of the shot. Composition, I think, is outstanding, also as well as the lighting, details and true colours. Bravo and TFS.

Hi Sky,
Grouping at the edge of water, seem that they want to get out of that island. Nice composition and pov. Well done and seen picture. TFS.

Hello Sky,
These are special animal, they seem very furry :) I like their colors and shape. Interesting notes too. It is strange to see them so close to the water and knowing that they can't swim :) Maybe that by being kept there, evolution will makes them swim eventually ;) I think that details are a little soft, I guess that you were far from your subjects with it is a very natural POV and composition. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Sky,
You caught them at a really beautiful spot. This park looks really beautiful with so much space for the animals.
Great colors and DOF. A small pitty that you have some OE spots.
TFS,

What a nice big family you present us here, Sky!
The look great together like that!
THe POV is excellent and the colors are very beautiful in this light.
Also the DOF is very well managed and the sharpness of the details is impecable!

Bravo and TFS

Well done Sky.
I like pose's of the three I can see, especially the tail-up one :)
Great color, with good exposure and detail.
? - Did you, or R U using single point focusing? Just curious..I think if you used tripod, reduced your s-speed, and closed down the aperture a bit it would be better..
Have a Great Week!

Hi Sky,
diese Lemuren liebe ich, die sind soooo schön und putzig - vor allem mit erhobenem Schwanz.
Ein tolles Bild, diese Gruppe sitzt da so gemütlich beieinander, Danke und Gruß

Well done

Hallo Sky,
aus treffend gewähltem Blickpunkt aufgenommen ist dieses schöne Dokument für Gruppenverhalten bei Primaten sehr gut in die Umgebung eingebettet. Instruktiv und gut zu lesen sind wie immer Deine Anmerkungen - wusste nicht, dass diese Tiere das Wasser so verabscheuen, dass sie auf Inseln gefangen gehalten werden können. Eine Eigenschaft, die von schlauen Zoo- und Landschaftsarchitekten hier offenbar wunderbar zur Erzielung eines Zoos ohne Gitter genutzt wurde.
Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Konzentration der Bildwirkung würde ich Zuschnitt oben und an den seitlichen Rändern empfehlen. Habe dazu ein Workshop versucht.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

oh my..what funny looking creatures!! the sort of look like a monkey found a skunk attractive once!! :o) They do look like they are very social things...This does look like a nice place you visited as well..or at least you've photographed it to appear so anyway! Great shot..TFS
Donna :o)
