Long-tailed Macaque

We stumbled upon a troop of Macaques one morning traveling to our lodge in Western Thailand. This guy grabbed my eye while being drawn to something that caught his attention as he was casually munching.

Nice sharpness in the macaque. Beautiful eyes and I like the upward gaze.

Charles: I like the soft light and how perfectly the Macaque is framed by the greenery. Its look could be described a number of ways including pensive or hungrily eyeing the next bit of food. Richard

I love this shot, Charles! Exceptional focus and clarity on the Macaque and a nice composition that shows it's environment. The large version puts you right there and makes it even more personal! devil

This is a great example of using the natural surroundings to frame you subject. Techs look fine and comp is spot on. devil
