I like how the light shining done on the chimp seems to illuminate and make the top half of him glow. It is that illuminating light that seperates his shape from the overall black background. I think the composition suffers from being a tad too dark because the chimp is surrounded in a sea of darkness. Negative space can be good for a composition but it doesn't seem to add anything to this one. The bottom half of the chimp all but disappears in the black background and his eyes are lost in deep shadow. Closer crop to make the male chimp the main focus of the image would greatly improve visual appeal. Giving us an up close & personal look at your subject tends to increase visual appeal. Also, playing with levels and/or brightness/contrast may yeild some more details of the chimp's face and maybe even make his eyes visible.
love this. Wish it was cropped on the left just a little. Wish it was bigger. :P Would love to see the fine detail. Excellent capture from what I see. 8 - good luck in the challenge!
I like this shot.pretty nice detail for such a low key shot. I ahve had some dark shots flop because of peoples monitors so i hope you are not feeling that pain. I'll give you an extra point just in case:)
Wow. Amazing how he posed for you. Maybe a little more light on him and just slightly less rim light? Maybe having him less centered. Maybe not. Very Nice!!! 7
