love those monkeys they are much fun. Great eyes and the tones of the red you managed very well. Maybe the nose area should be a tad more sharpen, see what the others say to this.
Great shot - I've looked at this a few times now, and it makes me smile each time. The eyes just work perfectly, and the reflection is a nice bonus. Nice of the impala to be so co-operative as well!
Hi Andre - This is great. The warm colors, low pov and cooperative impala bg all combine for an excellent image. The eyes are captivating. A very small point but by no means a deal breaker, I wish mom's finger wasn't clipped on the lhs.
Hi Andre, nice eye contact and the hide provided a nice low level POV, was this through glass? I like the overall colours and personally I feel the sharpening looks fine. I think Mum's 'chest' maybe in this instance a little distracting LOL , but nothing you could have done. Like the reflection.
I think they need to vary the scene/environment/features from time to time, as having seen many of these images both Avian & Animal you know instinctively where it's from.
Anette, does the baby or the mother needs a nose job?
Mike you must see their other antics, you don't smile, you laugh out loud!
Rachel, I was waiting for that comment, in the original the finger was fully in, as I mentioned I had to lean back on my chair to get that few extra centimetres to get focus.
By leaning back I must have moved the camera a bit off centre. It was either the finger or a non straight image. I chose the rotation and thereby almost amputated the finger!
Thank you Steve, yes this was through the glass. Loose about 1 stop, but it is worth the invisibility to the subject. I promise I did not enhance mom's "assets"!
I feel that I have spent one morning in that hide;captured hundreds of images with the same setup. I have no inclination to return to THAT hide, but there are a few more!
They are busy building a "lagoon hide" where you walk in a "pipe-walkway" under the water to a hide in the lake where bigger mammals can be photographed- elephant, wild dog, leopard etc.
Would like to go back, just expensive, but worth-while ..
Hi Andre looks fine to me in all terms .
Very nice fine detail and pleasing colors.The eyes are gorgeous and the sharpening does look good to me.
Agree with Steve about the location , but not much you could do .
Mom and I
, but nothing you could have done. Like the reflection.
