    Default Japanese Macaques playfighting

    Last month I travelled to Japan to work on a project with these Japanese Macaques. While I'd like to keep the project for myself a little longer, I'd like to share some of the other photographs I took during this visit. This year I visited the snow monkeys in a very busy week. And since most people were photographing near the hotsprings, I tried to focus on the monkeys running around on the snow and hills. We were very fortunate to find a good amount of fresh snow and some VERY active subjects to photograph. This remains one of my favorites from a whole series of playfighting macaques.

    Jasper,
    I love the expressions. The raised feet with snow is nice. Lot of details in the image. The sharpness, action and mood of the image is very nice. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,

    Great expressions on those faces and detail in that fur. The opposing positions of the two add to the nice composition. Looks like they were having fun :)

    Facial expression makes the image. Good work capturing the action.
