Wow, that's a lot of DOF for f/2.8. The focus is a little forward, but the eyes still look detailed.

Thats handheld!! Holy poll-up-your-ass batman! 1/20th with that kind of sharpness is just amazing! I have been debating on selling my 70-200mm f/4 to get the 2.8IS - this might have just pushed me over the edge.

Looks great. A little more saturation to bring out the yellow and red would have set it off.

How would you like to wake up to this smiling face? Good luck. 9

Interesting subject, of course. I really like the way you've flattened the 3d face into and abstract. Face pointing right and eyes looking left. Wonder what they see? Very nice image.
Post actions
Not at all like the original but that aside it came out great!

A different kind of ape....but, WOW! Is this thing SHARP and well lit. Great focus on the eyes. Super shot!
Post actions
The level of details in your capture is absolutely stunning! We see the details of this primate with absolute clarity from the texture in the hair to the smallest whiskers on it's snout! Colors are also wonderful! You really bring the viewer in up close and personal with this monkey!

I like that you used a different primate. Excellent in every way! Filling that frame beautifully!! :D He does look deep in thought!
Post actions
Wonderful detail and fine textures..... Perfect.....
Post actions
definitely reminds of the original, but completely different in the details (other species, crop, expression). Excellent image that would have scored very high in a Free Study - as it'S a bit of a shoehorn here it will probably end in mid 6's
Post actions
This is an amazing photograph. If it were the same animal, expression, crop and angle as the original, i'm sure it would do well in this challenge, but its not.
