That's a lovely sloth and a great image too Stanley. I love those heart-shapes on him back-side too.

A super job you've done here my friend - very well done lad.

A perfect image of that sloth, Stanley. I like the setting too with all that foliage under its back.It looks as if it's going to use it like a hammock.

The second sloth species in fairly short succession! You are convincing me that I should go to Central America to see one of these. For a sloth, this shot is also positively dynamic! I don't think that happens too often.
