Stretch...

i wish i could hug him/her. mike

Nice subject and really good dof! Nice work!

She was the sweetest little thing. I could have watched her all day long! They are so "human" and she was like a little kid.

Taken at the zoo in Houston. These were the only monkeys not caged

so I was able to get some good shots. They seemed a lot happier than

the other monkeys, too. This little one played and played and got

very tired (see other pictures in nature folder).

I'd love to see the whole arm. Might have required more than a few steps back from the look of it.

Kim ... have you ever posted that picture (attached to the previous comment) as an upload on its own? (Am I making sense?) I think that it's the best of your non-PS'ed monkeys by far (and the composition is absolutely perfect!!) If not, you ought to consider it!

Lou Ann, I've been "saving" it! LOL! Actually, I have a lot of pictures I haven't posted yet, so you'll see it sooner or later. I was giving a sneak preview! :) Deleted it off the comment since I posted it now.

Post it!! Post it!!

You see, I wasn't the only one looking for the arm!

 

I agree, I like that shot quite a bit, and think the "geometry" of the arm and the two ropes add to it.

 

Have you thought about this one in a square crop, to really focus in on those eyes? I think if you give me less of the arm I won't want to see the whole thing quite as much.

Good idea, Sam...I'll try it. If I like it, I'll repost it. Thanks for the suggestion. **And I DID like it, so replaced original with the square crop. Thanks, Sam!

Yes, I think those eyes really pop out now - looks great!
