Default lemur at the zoo

I went to the zoo yesterday and this is a lemur behind glass. Does it look ok? crop? color? brightness?

I think this looks OK -- more than that, I think it looks good. The image is sharp (which is a miracle at 1/8th -- how on earth did you manage it?!) and unless you'd said, I wouldn't have known it was behind glass. The crop works, but it might have been nice to have a bit more space for the lemur to stare into (ie a bit more on the left), and it might work slightly better as a square -- but then again it might not, as that would mean cropping out the tail.

Overall, though, nice pic and thanks for sharing.

Great capture...I think if you cropped more of the bottom out it would look a little better...the gaze he has is really cool!
