Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Awww, they're so cute! I want one as a pet! ;)

Great captures John, and Fozzie too.

Reminds me of back in the mid 90's Telecom NZ used them in a marketting campaign. They were quite successful too IIRC.

I wonder if meercats can be kept as pets?

Way back in 1979, a South African hotel that I stayed at had an unusual house pet - a mongoose, and what a pet he/she was.

Does anyone know if the Australian Quoll can be tamed and kept as a pet?

Excellent photos by the way!!

I don't think Quolls would make very good pets - unless you're keen on losing your fingers. From what I know of them, they're marginally better tempered than Tassie Devils, but only just.

Meerkats (correct spelling) would be much nicer to have around. They have a penchant for seeking out the tallest thing in the vicinity in order to survey their surroundings. You'd have to get used to them scurrying up your leg to perch on your head. How cool would that be!

Great photos guys - I'll have to dig out my Western Plains Zoo shots....
