Tufted....

In the spring we visited Sri Lanka for almost 3 weeks. What an incredible nature that country has. It is a paradise for nature photographers. The tufted gray langurs are a subspecies that live in Sri Lanka and in the south of India. I love the big eyes in this youngsters face...

Ummm, interesting skull structure, kind of comes to a ... point. Lovely portrait of a wonderful little creature. The background is rather bright in spots perhaps, but I like its general appearance with this subject. Another exotic location I'll have to add to my bucket list.

Ellen ..a very tough subject to compose, and have tried several times in vain. Getting details on the face is no easy task with the Langur ...beautifully crafted image and love the emotion on its face. well done

Really nice, Ellen. I can't find any real nits, and the only thing I might try in processing would be to slightly tweak the brightness of the shadow area of his face to see if more detail is possible. Excellent, as posted.

Wow, what a face!

I can imagine this must be a great subject Ellen

. I like the expression, the shiny eyes and the composition. The bright spots in the BG are a bit of a distraction and I would suggest to tone these down a bit.

I like the lighting here. It brings out the detail. An interesting animal and glad to see it here.
