Another monkey picture...

I've been trying to imitate this move for 3 days. Finally got it ............ (-;

 

I'm worried about you a little. This monkey thing could, if you're not careful, easily turn into an eggg thing. ......... Great shot. I might crop some from the bottom to minimize the 'tarp' in the bg but then again I might not. This one might look good with your sepia treatment too. Thru your pictures, I'm seeing that these must be incredible creatures. Is a compliment that your images convey this. Good job Slonaker !!

Ken, this has already become the "egg" thing. :) Actually, today (Dec 26), we took my son from Canada to the Wildlife Park and I will start posting some of those pictures soon. I just learned how to easily do the effect in this composition and I chose a monkey picture to try it on. This one had a very busy vivid green background that competed with the monkey.

Thought the background was just too busy on this one, especially in

color (vivid green). The effect of changing the background to B&W

seemed a good compromise to keep the focus on the monkey. Comments?

BW background is good.

This works really really well. Nice job. Shooting it straight on isn't a hindrance, but instead draws you into the monkey. Great job.

You monkeyed around with the colors, and it almost worked.

An eye-catching picture though.

Kim. Remember these two words: Gaussian Blur. They are the digital darkroomist's friend.

All the best in 2004 - Gary

Looks kind of cool, Gary - I'll have to try it on the original. Thanks for stopping by.
