Flame Of The Forest

Hi there. Just uploaded some images. Have a look and let me know what

you think. Cheers Mark.

It is just a excellent shot. I like this dark red combination. I think the image has every thing.

I think you did more photos in this atmosphere. Regards

Thanks for the comments so far; I have been exploring Ranthambore Nat. Park on the lookout for tigers. Driving down a steep dirt track I descended into a grey valley, almost all trees where dry and without leaves except the wonderful deep red blossoming "Flame Of The Forest". I hear the alarm calls of Hanuman Langurs across the valley. It took 600mm (300/2.8 with 2x Converter, Nikon F4) and a steady tripod to get the image.

This is one of my personal favorites. The languar has just the right position, one can even make out the blossom it is eating. The light was magic.

Lovely.I would crop a little from the left.That way, the monkey woul be more important and the look would not be draged out of the frame by the branch that are going out of the frame, in the up left corner.

Best regards

Extraordinary capture. The impact of the colors and the silhouette of the monkey make this a powerful image.

Congrats

Mark, a magical and beautiful picture!

love the back lighting, the pose, the tree.

everything fits perfectly.
