 The meerkats always have someone on the lookout to keep an eye out for predators.

Taken at Edinburgh Zoo on a beautiful sunny day. (Not that common in the middle of November in Scotland!)

seems a little dark to me, maybe adjusting the curves would have helped some. otherwise a cute shot.

The shallow DOF helps us to focus on the subject, but the background is still a bit busy. It would help if the light were brighter on the prairie dog (?) rather thanon the trunk.

I'm not really sure if this is the best representation of the literalism you have picked, but the picture is very dim. The animal at the top of the piece of wood blends into the background and nothing really appears to be sharp.
