Safe

The Christmas edition of UK magazine Digital Photo will featurea double page spread with four of my snow monkey images from Japan.Here's one of the shots they selected, taken on this year's Japan tour.

There was plenty of light and no distracting background, so I couldhave gone for more dof, but I wanted the softness of the all-aroundoof fur to emphasize the cuddly feeling of the shot. I also added atouch of fill flash to balance the brightness of fore- and backgroundand reduce contrast.

Congratulations... on this beautiful photo and on the publication.

The softness of the fur is almost felt; like the warmth and safety that little one experiencing...

This so warm and tender. You did a marvelous job in capturing this sweet touching moment between a mother and her baby. The expression on the babys face says, "wrapped in love and security". I love it. Congratulations.

Cute!
