Shake it! Snow monkey during snow flurry, Jigokudani Monkey Park, Yamanouchi, Nagano Prefecture, Japan
Nikon D3, Nikkor 16-35 f4 at 35 mm. 1/250 sec. f 7.1 +.3, ISO 280, converted from NEF file with Capture NX 2. Very little done in PS. Most of what you see was done with Nik's Silver Efex Pro and Pro Contrast in Color Efex. I toned it slightly blue with Silver Efex to bring out the coolness of the water. Sharpened for web with Nik Sharpener.
Comments welcomed!
Thanks for looking. And get yourself to the Monkey Park. It's awesome!
Best,
Ron Bernstein
I liked what you have done in PP and in camera , excellent

Without your title I'm confused about what its happening - is the monkey shaking off water, or what? Might prefer the monkey just looking at me (no shaking) with snow falling???

Nice to see you posting here Ron...
I like what you did. Though I am normally 50/50 on "toned" monochrome images I like the effect of the blue here. I love contrast more than most but I do feel that backing down very slightly in overall contrast here might benefit the image.
Here is the image with contrast reduced. Thoughts?Originally Posted by Morkel Erasmus

Subtle difference but I like what it has achieved!
More importantly - what do YOU think?
