Must have been a fun experience. I saw this monkeys when I was down in Trinidad (the only Caribbean island with monkeys) and they are a lot of fun. The face looks a little soft and the eyes could use some lightening. Is this a crop?

It is alittle soft, but nice pose and good exposure.

Hi Mike,

Must have been a good experience. On the anthropomorphic side - this guy looks quite concerned about something! I agree with Luke that the face looks on the soft side (sharpness-wise). Also, I normally prefer when a little more room is left in the area where the subject is looking, rather than behind it. In this case that would mean shifting (during the image capture process or in cropping) the monkey more to the right in the frame in this case...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad
