Interesting how they seem to echo us humans, huh? Nice capture.

This is a nice shot of a monkey. There's great DOF, there's personality, emotion, nicely done.

Sometimes I sit's and thinks.....sometimes I just sit.
Lovely shot of contemplative monkey.

nice shot and proper title

The focus is spot on.. and lovely DOF. The green spot on the chimp's head is a little distracting, but a really great photo nonetheless.

Amazing capture, very well composed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:30:23 PM
great title and shot, but the purple is a little distracting for me because there it none in the background, but then again it is just my taste nice find though
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the composition but a little fill light would have really brought this out for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 10:08:26 AM
A good pose you captured, so human like.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 09:54:56 AM
good choice of crop, the "green" bit on her face distracts a bit though jmo
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love this image. You really can see just why they are our closest relatives. Technically very strong too. Well done and good luck for the rest of the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 03:23:19 AM
a tighter crop or zoomed in perspective of just the chimp would be great. Also nice potential for an interesting b&w shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 02:17:48 AM
Great DOF and a nice composition. Image feels a bit dark though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:38:38 PM
Hmmm. I could have sworn I saw the zookeeper getting my food. Very nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:05:08 PM
Great capture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:23:55 PM
That is nice. Got my attention.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:09:36 PM
Very pensive moment captured. Somber tones.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:06:29 PM
I like the vivid colors around the monkey - kind of helps to relay the atmosphere. More contrast might help too to make the monkey pop a little more out of the picture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:04:55 AM
Wonderful pose!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:19:24 AM
I do love the bokeh and the crop works fairly well, though I feel it could have been given even more space to the left, to include more of the purple flower and also to give more space for the monkey to 'look' into - at the moment his face is in the centre so is half looking in, half looking out of the picture.

A very beautyful masterpiece
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:19:46 AM
Nice capture, Rodin would be proud
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:04:32 AM
I like the flowers in front and behind the "thinker". I think you got the focus in just the right place in this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:16:41 PM
love the detail and bokeh works perfectly
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:51:19 PM
Hmmmm. If I stacked a bunch of rocks right here... I could throw them at those idiots who come here every day and watch me. LOL Nice capture of the expression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:45:20 PM
Yes ... Rodin couldn't have got it more right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:28:47 PM

 03/12/2009 03:05:17 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:02:45 PM
A little dark for me but love the subject. Good detail on him.

Hey, I just entered a similar photo for my free study last month.

Manny gives some serious thought to the question that has stumped philosophers for generations: "Do I want that L lens, or would I rather eat?"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:43:43 AM
Hate the crop; I love the shot. Does that make sense? 6.

 03/11/2009 09:41:28 AM
nice shallow dof
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:56:10 AM
good DOF, nice pose, I like the sharpness 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:47:36 AM
Love the DoF in this. Really makes him/her stand out. The flowers in the foreground and branch on the face are the only distractions.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:36:19 AM
nice capture... couple little foreground blurry areas that distract me but overall nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:13:23 AM
DOF is perfect here!
