    Hi Manvir, a cute pose, but would suggest a tighter crop to give more impact to the subject. Sadly I feel it looks rather soft, so any heavy crop might highlight the softness. Would suggest you try to get closer to your subject to avoid this in the future, but always be aware of safety first. ;)

    When posting please could you also add the EXIF details, as it is helpful to the view when replying back, as the softness for instance on this image may be due to a slow shutter speed, but without it we have to guess.

    Many thanks and look forward to seeing more.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the comments. Yes I know this is kind of soft and that is why I didn't do a smaller crop on the image... Was show with a Canon 7D using 18-200 mm at 200 mm. It was very early in the morning and sun was not up yet though the sky had started lighting up... The EXIF information is as below..

    Make Canon Model Canon EOS 7D
    Aperture Value f/5.7 Color Space Uncalibrated
    Exposure Bias Value 0.67 EV Exposure Program Shutter Priority

    Steve pretty much summed it up. In addition to Steve's comment, I like the eye contact, and cant help trying to CCW rotate the image. I realise part of it is due to the shooting angle, but the monkeys seem to be leaning too.

    Hi Manvir You did well with the slow shutter speed but don't hesitate to raise !!! Will go to 800 without problem and higher with a little noise reduction !!! ...great performer !!!

    They do look a little cold. I like the way they're huddled together and the cool, dark BG fits your description of the conditions. I also want to give it a little CCW rotation.

    Hi Manvir,
    Where was this photographed?

    I agree with the previous comments. You can increase the ISO to get a higher shutter speed. You can also use support like tripod, beanbag etc.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the comments :)....

    Sabyasachi,

    This was photographed in Morni Hills near Chandigarh. I was driving uphill and just had enough time to get the camera out and click. Thats the reason for the tilt i guess.

    Will keep in mind the ISO the next time i'm out early morning. :)

    Thanks again....
