4 commentsI enjoy the mood, the almost hidden snake and good detail of this capture. Postprocessing tweak I would consider would be to apply noise reduction to the OOF background and perhaps slightly de-saturate the greens. Nice image!
Mike: I like the detail and the pose of the monkey and the greenery of the background. My only minor suggestion would be to clone or crop the protruding leaves on the left. Cropping would move the monkey even more off center. Richard
Oh my! Guess monkeys aren't afraid of snakes.... Excellent catch Mike. The details in the subjects and the log are great and the background adds some nice pop. For me, the leaves on the left are dark enough that they only attract a bit of attention, so I'd leave them in.
I found it right away, but then I've had some recent practice
Unusual 'perch' and I really like the environment. Great comp, details, and the light across the monkey's very nice Mike.
Well done!
