Nice portrait of this guy. It looks like the light was a bit harsh, but you made the most of it. Your technical specs would help in the review. Also, a larger post is allowed and encouraged.

Interesting portrait of this primate. I like that you have detail in his eyes. Agree techs and a larger image would help with comments. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Luc,
An interesting portrait that nicely shows a lot of character in this baboon. You definitely had some harsh lighting to deal with - perhaps too much of a brightness differential to capture in a single frame without a lot of selective editing. There appears to be lost highlight detail in the hair above and lateral to the eyes (on each side) - impossible to say if that's recoverable without seeing the original capture (assuming it was raw).
Cheers...
Brad

At present you are posting 4x as many images as comments - and the recommended comment-to-image ratio (as per the posting guidelines) is 5:1 (so you're about 95 comments behind right now!). We ALL like to get feedback on our images, and the only way that happens is if those posting images also post comments.
