Snow Monkey (captive)

Thanks for all the comments on my first post. The weather has been pretty hit and miss here so I've been looking back at some older pictures and wondered what you make of this. Taken at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie on a photo workshop the mesh fence and wind conspired to make hand-holding a necessary but unsteady option.

I'd have liked the eyes a bit sharper, better separation from the background and a less central composition, but I think the cold had numbed my mind at the time!

Thanks

Nice image Magnus!

Hi Magnus a nice image with lots of potential, I took the liberty of doing a little extra post processing to show you some of the potential contained within your image.

Ps I will quite happily remove should you mind my processing of your image.

Nice shot Magnus , he's a cheeky little monkey

Andy...

Have come back to this one several times,and love the repost............so sharp now

Thanks for the comments and for the extra processing Phillip - love it, as Barrie says its so sharp.

My next question is how do you get such results?

The repost really sets your image of a treat Magnus. Good one.

Major.

That's a fine image which the re-post takes up another level. I think a tighter framed shot would look better still.

Sorry Magnus but I'm going to disagree slightly - I think your second pic looks over sharpened. The skin of the monkey doesn't look pliable anymore and all monkeys and apes have expressive faces. Perhaps a little sharpening yes, but I think you may have over done it a bit.

That's just my view though of course.

Hi Magnus,

Superb capture!
