A wild monkey from Thailand.

Howdy Lars,

Intense Concentration, or he was trying to Hypnotize you into giving him a treat

Very nicely done, I always look forward to seeing what you have for us.

Kindest Regards,

Craig

Excellent, Lars. Those eyes are penetrating, you sure captured his attention.

It's an astonishing image. I am assuming this is a 200mm shot. The 70-200 f/2.8 IS perhaps? Any way you slice it....the photo is truly phenomenal.

Excellent Lars. Just wish the chest was not quite so OOF. Did you add any blur there?

Scott

Striking image, and what intense eyes

great shot....very intense stare

Super portrait, and great choice of dof!

I love this. Great processing, great composition, annnnd it put a smile on my face!

Captivating. Love your processing and great choice of dof.

Nice capture and processing Lars. The expression on the monkey is not too dissimilar to the one which won the Nature Photograph of the Year Award this year.

Lars, the monkey's staring at you, for sure. Intense eyes, somehow a bit unsettling too, you never quite know what these little guys are up to ....

santiago

Agreed, very intense stare. I saw on TV some of the problems with these guys, they have no fear anymore and some terrorize picnicers and even jump into peoples homes through windows, and are sometime known to bite.

Amazing picture though.

Thanks Scott, no blur was added. At this close distance I have to shoot at f/20 or smaller to get the wholw monkey in focus.

Al, thanks a lot for dropping by. Hope to see a few landscape images from you soon


Lars

Not sure the expression is of intrigue or anger A great pic, nevertheless. thanks for sharing, Lars.

Magic!

Excellent, the eyes have it for sure. I've also noted the framing, I like the style.
Nice one
