Took this at the local zoo. Meerkats.. very photogenic, I think. I haven't seen them close up before, so getting this shot was kind of exciting to me. :)
I realize this is stretching the limits of "Candid" but I think it fits well enough. :)
USM, crop, contrast/brightness, auto sat, auto levels, resize, USM, save for web.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
Unfortunately, candids of animals are really not what I look for in a good candid. Animals are aware and both unaware at the same time of a photographer, nor do they care either way. Too easy, no comfort zone lost. It's a 2 for me.
It's a nice photo. I personally don't see how an animal shot can be candid, but nonetheless you did a good job in your composition and exposure of this image. Good luck in the challenge.
