1000wordsphotography 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Interesting to me that you can see the reflection of the bars in the eyes. At least that is what I think I see. I think this is an incredible photo. Link to comment
miguel alvarez 0 Posted December 30, 2004 You were able to get close and capture a well focused, well lighted shot. Great photo! 6/6 Link to comment
jlondonphoto 0 Posted December 30, 2004 I'm going to ask a question I normally hate to hear asked. What lens did you use? I'm not asking in order to duplicate your style, but I'm amazed at the sharpness and clarity. Photoshop can help an image, but not like this. I'm assuming it's a telephoto with image stabilization. I'm normally a wide angle to 35mm shooter, but I would consider this lens. Nothing wrong to point out on this one. 7/7 Link to comment
eyad_a.zeki 0 Posted December 30, 2004 I like the green eyes ...sharp and clear...7/7 Link to comment
gav_davies 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Thanks for the comments. I used the Canon 100-400mm IS lens, at 400mm, 1/200, F5.6, ISO400. This was a wild baby macaque at the Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur (so no cage or glass to contend with). The bars in the eyes are actually the steps that lead up to the temple at the top.

ron c sunshine coast,qld,a 0 Posted December 30, 2004 There's something not right about this.Sure it is oversaturated which is no big deal but i think the hue is just too yellow..?Abit of a shame it's slightly front focused-the ear and it's mothers fur are in focus ,not the eyes and faceOverall a stunning capture though! The reflections in the eyes are great! Link to comment
gav_davies 0 Posted December 30, 2004 And there's the customary 3/3 that I always seem to get ;0) Thanks for the comments from everyone else :0) Gav PS - I didn't touch the colour balance or saturation on this one, just a touch of sharpening. Link to comment
