Happy to see that there are already so many submissions to your contest! I know that you like Africa, so I thought I would use this fact to my advantage by choosing a photo from Africa ;) I haven't been on a safari yet, but I went on a cat safari in the streets of Morocco!

For now, I am basically just a student passionate about photography and earning some money on the side by selling stock photos, so I am not sure if I can really call myself "professional", but I will try ;)

Thanks for holding the contest @derangedvisions ! I will try for the Professional category !

This is a shot of a Japanese Macaque or Snow Monkey that was engaging in some serious eye contact with my camera. It was taken at the hot springs (or onsen) that feeds into the valley of the Yokoyu-River at Jigokudani Yaen Koen. Literally meaning "Hell's Valley", Jigokudani was named after the steam and boiling water that bubbles out of small crevices in the frozen ground which is surrounded by steep cliffs. The valley sits at an elevation of 850 meters. Other than humans the Macaque is the primate that lives in the coldest climate and survives in winter temperatures down to -15 °C. In japan the species is known as Nihonzaru. In Shinto belief, mythical beasts known as raijū sometimes appeared as monkeys and kept Raijin, the god of lightning, company. The "three wise monkeys", which warn people to "see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil", are carved in relief over the door of the famous Tōshō-gū shrine in Nikkō. Yamanouchi, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan

There are many great photos in this contest already but I can see most of the animals here were held in captivity so I am submitting this curious wild fella whom I captured when he came down from a tree in Costa Rican jungle. It is the brown-throated sloth, the iconic animal of Costa Rica.

I have no photography background, nor equipment (I use my mobile phone) so I am applying for the beginner category.

My daughter is in love with sloths!!! She loves this photo.

Here is a picture of my little sloth buddy named Sid hanging out with your entry.

I guess there are enough cute cats and dogs, so here are some different furred animals. =) I encountered these curious guys during the epic hike to the Rainbow Mountain in Peru. They were running wild on the breathtaking harsh highland with an elevation of almost 5000 meters (about 16000 feet). I think the hungry one on the left is an alpaca, and the one in the middle is a llama? But I'm not sure about the one in the front. Anyone knows? I will go with Amateur.

Thanks! Actually she is a nightmare to photograph, although she's slowing down in her twilight years, she still doesn't sit still. I took about 50 shots of her and only about 7 were well framed and/or in focus. This was a split second moment where she moved her head just into the right position :) it was back breaking work I tell you! 😂 She does have the best colours, she's like a little tiger :)

This is my entry for a photo contest by @derangedvisions with a Furred Animal theme!

This is a Sumatran gibbon seized by the Aceh Natural Resources Conservation Agency from a citizen in Aceh, Indonesia who arrested him as a pet. For a while these primates are placed inside the cage, and later will be released back into the wildlife. These gibbons are legally protected animals, as these primate populations are few and endangered, due to the large number of illegal hunting and illegal logging.

For this contest, I try in the Professional category.

hi ... @derangedvisions.. . best regards for photo contest you created. i tried professional category
My post is a photo of the Sumatran tiger. one of the rare and endangered tigers in the world.

The Sumatran tiger (Latin: Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a tiger subspecies whose original habitat on the island of Sumatra is one of six tiger subspecies that survive to date and is included in the critically endangered criterion of endangered species in the Red List of threatened species released by the Institute IUCN World Conservation. The wild population is estimated between 400-500 tails, mainly living in national parks in Sumatra. Recent genetic testing has revealed unique genetic markers, indicating that this subspecies may develop into separate species, when successfully sustained

I had been promising my 4 year old son that I would get him a puppy. One day I was headed towards home on my motorcycle and saw something move out of my peripheral vision. It was a puppy that someone abandoned along the road. She is smaller than my foot, so I put her in my backpack and zippered her in except her head was left outside the pack. Now she is part of the family and I have a happy boy. We are Americans living in the Philippines.

Elvis plays the exact same way my cat Sophie does with shoe laces. She gets the same look on her face and everything. Great shot. I am looking forward to seeing more of your photography.

Thanks, I really appreciate these words, especially when coming from an excellent photographer like you but to be honest, I dont even have a camera, I have been using my cell phone :D Thats why I dont even feel like an amateur but a complete beginner and I think I will submit my entries into this category. My furry animal entry coming soon ;)

Hi @derangedvisions! I'm so excited discovering this contest!

Is it OK to put taglines into my photos? If not, I'll remove it and repost.

Talk about expressing "deranged" in a photo, here is a quote to accompany my photo: Most governments today and thieves have the same leaning, "What is yours is mine."

**I WISH to be a professional photographer but will be happy to submit my photos as an Amateur unless you say I pass as a professional. :p

Hi @patlu, great shot and thank you for participating. I had a black cat that we got when we lived in Japan when I was younger. We named him "Habu" after the snake that was there in Okinawa.

If you want to add a tagline in your photo that is up to you, but it does detract from the photo. One thing you could do is in the markdown script after you drop the image, use < sup> < /sup> and then write your tagline inside the code. You will have to close the spaces for it to for work right. It will look like this:

^{What is yours is mine}

Thanks for your prompt reply @derangedvisions. BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for the feedback and tip! Is this current photo qualified for your contest or do I need to resubmit the photo without the text?

BTW, this is my neighbour's cat who drops by every night for supper. His name is Legam, in Malay language means blacker than black. A very handsome boy indeed.

Once again, your feedback is very much appreciated. <3

Great image.
