Meercat Mountain

Meercats are terribly photogenic and know how to strike a pose.  They obviously have no personal space issues as they pile up at the drop of a hat.  What more can you ask for in a photo session.

I have to admit that not a lot of thought went into this shot.  I knew that I wanted to fill the frame but include the man-made mountain they sat on.  My only other thought was to use a wide open aperture to blur the background in order to create a 3D-like quality.

I waited for something to attract their attention and as they all showed me their profile, I gently squeezed the shutter button.
