   Amazing how close you are to him. You must have spent a lot of time with them to gain this confidence. I like the tall twigs of grass right in front of the Meerkat. Looks like a discourse, between Lord and and his disciple. specially see posture of the hands.

   what a great shot, its like he’s admiring the sun too, almost thinking about how nice the sunset is.

    What makes this picture out of the ordinary is the Meerkat and the clouds are both pointing towards the same point into the distant horizon as if farewelling the end of another day.

    The meerkat looks like s/he’s making a mental list of his surroundings! Great work Matt! (The sky is awesome as well!)

    using a 16-35 lens, you had to have been really close - either that or this is cropped a lot. either way, an outstanding photo!
