Greetings from the Critique Club! I wondered if I should pass on this shot and see if it ended up in Jelena's lap  purpleflutterby13, she is very fond of lemurs. :-)
Initial impression: Love the expression of startlement on the lemurs' faces, very cute.
Technical: Composition is a little vague, but unless a handler is nearby to help out a little, zoo animals generally don't take direction very well. The shadows are a little harsh, could've been dealt with in post-processing. I do agree that the dof could be a little deeper, maybe another stop or two.
Artistic: Definitely a family shot, and no doubt you're shooting at a good distance. I also have the D40 and that kit lens; glad that you were able to get quite a pleasing shot with it. Pity the lemurs on the left weren't on the right and vice-versa! However the slightly haphazard comp and air of distraction about the lemurs just drives home that they are wild animals. You finished in the top 50% so well done.
FWIW: Overall, a very sweet picture and a good one considering the subject matter. Look forward to seeing more entries from you!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,

| Like the shot, but the DOF is a little shallow for my tastes. |
