Fantastic detail in the different textures. The lighting & exposure are also perfect. The eyes are spooky.

Amazing! Is this a straight photo? I mean, is this a Picasso-deconstruction-reconstruction? Either way it's great...if it's straight it's a wonder and if it isn't it's a great idea.

The first imapct of this photograph is quite interesting and serves to break one from reality

for a moment. Unfortunately, then it appears it is only because it is unreal! and maybe just

too unreal to allow the feeling to linger.

 

The right side, with it's empty eye socket, and somewhat mushed transitions unfortunately

become to distracting for me to really enjoy this image further than that first hit. I think it is

a great idea, maybe just not executed as well as it might.

 

If I am wrong and this is real, nature is just giving me fits again!

Totally real! Es una imagen impactante en la que has capturado soberbiamente una actividad tan comun entre ellos. La forma en que se "funden" es fantastica y muy bien lograda. Felicidades, Max por tu POW! Saludos desde Mexico.

Is it taken in a zoo ?

I like it. Animals, especially apes, doing "human like" acts of caring for one

another are always a hit. This is a really great capture of such a momment.

 

Scanning the above comments, I see there is some question as to whether or

not this is a straight photo or a digital collage. Either way, this is an image

worthy of POW status. If it is a collage, that does take away some of the magic

of the decisive momment, but does not take away from the fact the image is

stunning. Good job.

Nice, really nice. The color is great, and the confusing image that develops reminds me of some sort of puzzle. Kinda gives me a headache if I look at it for a while, however, because my brain keeps trying to put the two animals together to form one...

"The right side, with it's empty eye socket, and somewhat mushed transitions unfortunately become to distracting for me to really enjoy this image further than that first hit"

 

I completely agree with this comment.

Incredible sharpness, already said, I agree

Great composition, idem

Great cropping, idem

 

The composition of this image has something of a cubist painting, it looks as two views of the same ape, one frontal, one by side. Really great shot, very original!

Enhorabuena! Congratulations!

This photo is real. I was there. These mandriles (Mandrillus sphinx) are two. And there is no collage. I don't understand what you can see strange in this picture.

Best wishes. :)

Powerful, colorful, focused and perfectly cropped. Congratulations on being this week's selection for POW. Nice.
