Capuchin Portrait

Gallery: WildlifePosted March 30, 20081,255 views7 comments

This is Corona. He is the same capuchin as the one in the last capuchin photo that I posted. Corona might be my favorite of the five... He is certainly the most photogenic. I want to try to get a shot of the smile he gives me as he tilts his head when he is doing something that he knows he shouldn't be doing. It reminds me of Dexter from the movie Night At The Museum. I rarely get the time to do any shooting while I'm working though.

Very nice, I like how the head is defined by a light contour. Congrats,
Andrey

Rick,

I find this the best image of your recent monkey photos. Great expression, well balanced composition, great background, very nice eye contact.

Well done
