Theme - Christmas Card - Christmas is for Kids

Their back in all their form. Modifications are obvious by the additions. Slight adjustment to Ink Outline and Brightness/Contrast, along with Fill Flash.

Enjoy!

Nice looking Christmas card Mark. I like the red border and the tree lights. Too bad the big one isn't turned a bit more toward you so we could see his/her face a bit.

Mark, Very nice festive feel to this! I like the way the image is set up in the framing. The tree is a tiny bit close to the edge. I like the way you added punches of red throughout the image.Nicely done.

I applaud you on a nice tree creation Mark......the image gives thought to the
primate family as a unit

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Denise, I purposely placed the tree slightly off screen, as I felt the location drew you into the image. Agree or disagree ;), thank you for your comments.

Michael, thank you for your comment. I will leave the hard H.A. to those who strictly support it. I feel it is a rule, as is the rule of 1/3rds. There for the occasion when it will improve the image. However, in this case, I really feel the HA is correct as needed for the subjects. The large chimp is facing those he is communicating with. But to each their own. Some feel the rules are not to be bent or broken. I feel it is a guide, as are others, unless the situation suggests another vision.

Patti ... Couldn't resist it! :D

Thanks Dave, Appreciate your comments. This has been a very special image to me, since first viewing it. As you are probably aware, it has been here before in various versions. And I agree it does speak of the family unit, so special in this season.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Another unique look. Cute idea! I would agree with another comment- be nice to see more frontal views, but the intended message is certainly there. Your fondness for them shines right through!
