How wonderful to have this experience! I think your image conveys the feeling very well. It really is magical, from the capture to the processing. You are right about not wanting to know what's out there!

Nancy, this is a beautiful and emotionally evocative image. Very well processed, and the critter is adorable! He looks a little startled...do you know if that is typical "look" or in response to the humans he is encountering?

Excellent job at conveying the feeling of the night walk in the jungle. The original image is outstanding--great composition. Love the processing. Wow! The colors are fantastic. Outstanding job. All those bursts of color in lines (I'm not describing this very well) give it a feeling of things just glimpsed, surrounded by darkness.

Love those eyes, and the hands and feet. The processing gives it a great sense of being a furtive, nocturnal mammal. I have never even heard of this critter, it must have been a real thrill.

Thank you everyone! Wendy, this is their "normal" look. Their eyes are like those of owls; very large to gather what little light is available at night. They also can turn their heads almost 180 degrees in each direction, like owls. I did some research (I didn't know much about them either) and they are strict carnivores and eat only live caught prey. They have massive lance-like upper incisors and grab moths, grasshoppers, beetles, frogs and lizards, small sleeping birds, etc. to munch on. Darling little demons !

Hi, Nancy, he looked adorable until I read your description of his eating habits Actually, he reminds me of Yoda. Your processing is gorgeous and very appropriate for your encounter. I'm glad you had what looks like a remarkable trip!

When seeing images like this, I wished I'd have been into world birds more, after being in all the states, provinces and territories looking for birds. I hope to go to that region of the world some day.
Lovely work with the Tarsier image, a great find. How many birds did you get on this trip?, must be a few beauty's. My favorite has always been the Hornbill...someday. Nice artsy image, Well Done

Thank you so much, everyone! Paul, I added 49 new bird species to my world list. It wasn't a birding trip and I found it difficult to let birds fly by while I was photographing the primates. But I did see many of the hornbills (very cool!) and the Bornean Bristlehead, a new family!
