Hello everyone.

An image for the weekend. Saw these three langurs nicely cuddled up on a misty morning . Waited for all three of them to look into the camera before firing away.


DPP 4.12, PSCC 23, WB, curves, levels, NR, shadow / highlights, sharpening, cleaned a bottle from the bkg.

Canon 1DX MKII, Canon 200-400mm @ 490mm with TC engaged, Bean Bag.


ss 1/800, f/5.6, iso 4000.

Looking forward for all your comments and suggestions be it of any nature.

Haseeb.

Hi Haseeb, very nicely seen and captured. Love the huddle and the 3 looking at you and the clean BG. Nice soft light and good techs. Well done !

This is pretty cool! The log is just the right size for the three of them. I did download and took a look at the mid tones but I think I like the image just as you presented it. I am looking at their faces however and wondering if they are a little bit grey?

Hi Haseeb .. super capture of these characters .
Nicely isolated and the log is quite large ,but not bad .
Love the different facial expressions of the three folks .

Colors looking good to me and the tones from HL to mid tones as well , not sure about the 3/4 and blacks to be honest . They do look somehow flat without form .... if you understand what I mean .

Have you used the " shadow / highlight " command of PS ??? At least it does sound like you did in your intro ...

Any how a nice shot that is keeping my interest :5

Thank you Jon, Doc and Andreas, as always your comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

@ Jon and @ Andreas -- have lifted the shadows a bit and hence the face might appear a bit grayish and slightly flat, also the light was not that good due to the fog. The rest of the body is gray any how.

Love it. Great portrait of these three monkees. Nice pose on all of them. They look quite content with having there picture taken.

The subjects fantastic pose and eye contact make for a wonderful image. Unfortunately it is noticeable (imo) that the light was very challenging
