squiver 0 Posted August 11, 2011 Japanese macaques (macaca fuscata), also known as snow monkeys, liketo bathe in the warm water of the natural hot springs. With outsidetemperatures below freezing and a constant water temperature of 42C,who can blame them?These photogenic animals have become used to humans wanting tophotograph them, so they are not shy and stay very relaxed in humanpresence. This little one however seemed to think 'Oh no, not again!'when one of the participants on our Japan workshop tried to take aphotograph.What I like about this scene, is the almost human-like expression, andthe fact that the camera lens makes the young macaque look evensmaller than it already is.Nikon D3s, AF-S 70-200/2.8 VR II, 1/1000 @ f/5.6, ISO 400[if you would like to join me on one of our photo tours and workshops,please have a look on my website] Link to comment

Bachir 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Just outstanding! to the viewer, the body language and facial expression of this young japanese macaque inspire the same tenderness and innocence that we see when a baby is asleep. Very best wishes, Bachir Link to comment
