this photo is so perfect it should be a painting, Looks like some one bushed him and he then posed for you! What a wonderful portrait.

What a nice pose, with the monkey eyeing the feast! good color combination. Too bad no details about the location, equipment etc.

cool shot and colors. The eyes are really communicative. I like the lighting over all, the detail is everywhere.

This is a lovely shot, the subject is great and the contrast between the orange and green colors works really well.

Hey there Alec,
I was just wondering where this picture was taken? Great shot by the way. One critique would be to write more about the picture, but other than that it is great. Keep up the good work.

Natures at its best. The artistic point of view is astonishing. You have conceptualized it greatly.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your comments! The shot was taken at Marwell Zoo, Hampshire, where thay let the Tamarin’s roam freely, it’s a lovely site to see and means that one can try to get decent shots without bars or windows getting in the way. It also makes the shot feel really natural too.
