I get this a lot from wildlife, maybe they're trying to tell me something. :P  Indri is the largest of all living Lemurs. This cheeky fellow is a juvenile.

D500, 1/125th, f4, ISO1600, 18-35mm @18mm, full-frame.
Regards,

Des

Hi Des, I like the cheeky look and hint of tongue and gives the subject character, but at 1/125 there appears to be either a hint of 'motion' blur, or it need some more 'perceptual' sharpening, WDYT? Any more space to the RHS, as I think having the subject more to the left balances the frame, just a thought.

There's a bit of blur on the right arm, Steve. That's ok with me. We're photographing a living, moving, wildlife after all. This is full-frame, so any 'space' will have to be artificially created, which I'm not keen on doing. I'm no longer a fan of long lens with the typical 'thirds' comp anymore. For me, it's more about the subject, location and the story. The confinement of the usual formula leaves me not terribly inspired. Thanks for taking the time to comment anyway.
Regards,

Des

What a cool shot. Perhaps a bit tight in the frame but the expression is great.

A bit tight for my taste, maybe less room on the left or vertical will be better.

Click on the image for the full view and this works beautifully for me. Who follows rules anyway!!

Love the way the Indri pops from the background and the humour of the expression is worth a thousand words Des!

This made me laugh out loud when it opened! What a character. 18mm, wow. I really like the perspective giving you the good look at the habitat. The soft even light really helps you here. Just love this.
I just read the comments about centering vs space on the right. With such a wide angle lens, centering gives you less distortion than putting the animal off-center would have, and is a good reason technically for making this choice. I would typically be in the off-center camp, but in this case even aesthetically I think this works really well, since you're also showing the habitat.
