Tayras are pretty cool creatures. They kind of look like otters that live in trees in the rainforest. Like otters, they are in the mustelid family. This tayra — photographed in the cloud forest of Ecuador — had the good fortune to stumble upon a big pile of bananas, giving me the chance to grab a few quick shots. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/160th of a second

Contrast of colors is beautiful yellow & purples just seem to blend with calming effect of a delightful meal ahead

Thank goodness the D800 can sometimes deliver a resonable image at ISO 3200. I would imagine you may have needed to add some sharpening, though, no?
