Male Probocis Monkey

[Nate Chappell]

This is another image from our trip to Borneo a couple of years ago. I spent a few days photographing the endangered Probocis Monkeys from the boardwalk at Bako National Park. This is my favorite image from those days. Full frame.

Talk about needing a nose job :)

Fascinating animal, nicely framed by the tree. Light angle worked against you, but not too bad. Well placed in frame.

He does look like he is sunning himself. Good job framing with the tree. Now if you could have gotten a bit higher then that OOF brush would be out of the frame and not blocking the foot - but I am guessing that was not possible.

[Nate Chappell]

Thanks Robert, I was on a boardwalk and it wasn't possible to get any higher.

Nate,
I like the framing. A bit tight, but lovely. I like the expression as well. The fill flash has helped. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice colors and detail. He's positioned nicely in that tree. Nice expression of contentment on his face.

Slightly too tight as Peter stated....but very very good control of your exposure in this difficult situation.

Great subject and comp... Just a tad tight.. Exposure is wll controlled good use of fill...
