Hello Nate

Very crisp and sharp details! Like the Eyes with the catchlight and the very clean background.

Cheers

Nice, clean portrait, Nate, bringing out all the characteristic facial features of this monkey. However, my eye is drawn towards the 'fading' away of the hair on the right side of the neck into the whitish bg, and in some 'I-can't-put-my-finger-on-it' way, it distracts me. Why? I don't know! :confused:

Hey Nate,

I really like the diagonal flow to this one and in my view the positioning of the subject is close to optimal (especially where the eyes lie in this composition). Nicely done.

Cheers...
