Challenge: Fauna (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: Tsing Mun Reservoir
Date: Apr 22, 2003
Galleries: Animals
Date Uploaded: Apr 22, 2003

 The monkeys in this reservoir are quite fierce. They may attack you if you approach them with food when they are hungry. So I took this shot with a 70-300mm on my D100.

I'm sure the background was meant to be blured but it just seems a bit to much for my liking. I keep looking at that, otherwise a really nice picture.

I like the expression you've captured on the monkey's face.

I like the way the background is nicely blurred out, they must of been sitting on top of a hill. Shame the little one on the left is just cropped out but still a good 8.

maybe trim off the top of the frame to make the picture more appealling conform to the golden rule of thirds? :)

Moving this to the left would've made this picture something really special. It is still very good.

An example of great zoo-fauna (been looking at a lot worse frankly). With the face, and an engaging expression. Great capture, with excellent focus! Good luck! - 9

You almost cropped one of the brothers out of the picture... Better luck next time.

Crop vertically just across the brown line and a little off the right and I think you'd have a much nice picture. Well caught, though.

haha, I love this. The look on the one's face that eating is great. The only suggestion would be to move the camera a little left to get the rest of him in.
