The Watcher

A Capuchin Monkey weighing it between 3-9 pounds sitting ever so

briefly for me to capture him/her while the rest of the unit played

and frolicked in their enclosure at Melbourne zoo.

Thanks for your thoughts

Taking normal shots in the Zoo and transform them into artistic items is a gift my dear friend!  Congrats!

Superb animal portrait.  The lighting and processing are impressive.  Excellent!

Superb photographic work!

very beatiful, love it

Excellent portrait,details,light,color all look so good,compliments.

thank you all very much. Your comments and ratings are much appreciated

Jut impeccable stuff. subject and expression really crisp, the lighting is superb and excellent framing.  Compliments.

Such an accurate composition! Technically flawless, as always is your work. But is the sense of depth of his gaze what more impressive is, lot of questions emerging in my mind. Great job.

Exceptional composition Art. Amazing details in this small monkey and his 'chosen perch'. Such an intent gaze. Beautiful colours and details overall. Your signature 'style' of excellence. Warm regards, Gail

Simply stunning work! The colour scheme; the undulating texture of the bark and the fur; the powerful gaze; the "clair-obscur" contrast... everything works to make it perfect! I am amazed and admirative!

Best regards,

Audrey

I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to commented on this image

Okay, I don't even like monkeys and this portrait just keeps drawing my eye.  So beautifully done.  Kudos!

Nice work!

thank you all

What a wonderful animal portrait. The best accolade I can say is that one would have absolutely no idea that this image was taken in a zoo. 

I just love your style in these animal portraits of yours, incredible!  Best regards...

Probably one of your best images.  The black bg shrouded by tree cavity with subject lighted in middle is a great combo.   Possibly the D800 may be in your cross hairs now.

Great works again as usual.!!! Almost looks as if this cutie was waiting for you to capture him since he always wanted to be on the "Front Page"

If you took this capture through a fence like we sometimes have to do at various Zoo's then Bravo!!! You WON once again!!!

Congratulations on another Winner my friend.

Warmest Regards

J

Excellent - all what I can say.

I have admired your work for a long time.  This is one of your best IMO.

And to think that the potential is available to all of us - not just those fortunate enough to be able to capture images in the wild.

Exquisite !!!!!!!!!!
