Tears of a Clown

Thoughts welcome.

Good composition.... nice snap... how long did u wait for this shot ?

Incredible pose. The contemplation in his/her eyes. Wow. Only criticism is that the focus is a bit soft, but nothing a bit of unsharp masking would fix. Really nice.

This is outstanding Regina.I love the hand drawn in..well the whole posture is great. I really don't care for monkeys/primates but this shot moves me.

 

 

I can relate to this picture. Hi uncle! :0)

 

I was born the year of the .... you guessed it.

I loved this expression. I think that is why I love the primates, they are so human-like to me. Or perhaps it is the other way round? I spent a lot of time at this exhibit. Most of the animals were very docile, inactive the day we visited. Not sure if the cooler weather plays a part in this or not.

 

I think part of the reason this appears so soft is it was shot through a pane of glass, plus my uploads never look as sharp on PN as they truely are. Thanks for looking/commenting everyone.

Leann doesn't care for monkeys/primates??? Wow, that floors me - I think they are the most intelligent looking creatures and so human-like. I can honestly say they are my favorites to both shoot and view. Nice work, Regina - this is such a touching image.

I know ,I know maybe with therapy I could get past the trauma suffered during childhood.Short descpription:young girl(me),dress with big bow(mine)monkey wanted that darn bow ..chase ensued(true story)Also those flying monkeys on wiz of oz ..freaky.... I do like baby chimps..and Regina's work. .What if the monkey was eating a bug would you love it so much then?... :-)

lol... poor dear child... tramatized for life!

 

I have seen photos/video of monkeys grooming each other, I know what you mean!

I just love animals and this chimpanze is beautiufl! LIke a human !

Thank you, Biliana

Regina- the pose is so wonderful, your composition and DOF is also wonderful. Really nice job! Please let's don;t have him eating a spider, OK? Kim and I would have to scream! LOL

The thinker? He looks somewhat familiar...

Regina, you inspired me to visit the zoo the same day I saw these pics. I'd still like monkeys, even eating bugs! I still like lizards even though one jumped me and another one was eating a giant spider!
