Taken at a zoo, but these monkeys are not captive. The zoo is surrounded by forest and these wild monkeys come to the zoo looking for food. They often snatch food from tourist or captive animals, sometimes they even snatch tourist camera or video recorder and once they do that you can say good bye to your equipments.
Wish the little monkey foot did not get cut off and a better background color.
Hi - love the soft colours - exposure looks good and sharp - as you would expect with that combo.
Bg doesn't bother me that much - could blur it a little.
Would have liked a little more eye contact from mum and the already mentioned babys foot.
Good show :)
Hi Thanaboon,
I like the capture...mom and baby look good. I like the sharp eyes, the head angle in this case does not bother me; both subjects are looking at something thats going on in their habitat...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Thanaboon, I love the interaction between mother and child, nicely exposed and good details throughout. I think the mother looking off to the distance adds to the story.The baby's face is priceless. I only wish the foot was included.Do you have it in any of the other images from that shoot. If you wanted you could add some canvas and merge the foot in-(just a suggestion).
Just the foot form me and blurring the bg a little more !!! Sweet !!!
I like both head positions and expressions both are looking at something and the little tongue action is great !!! ... good advice on keeping the camera secure !!! :) Excellent image !!!
Wow, Dave you did a really good job with adding the foot. Other images from the shoot didn't have the baby foot in them but I don't think Dave have one either. So it's time to play around with Photoshop some more.
