This is my first submission here. Had fun with my new sony and my mexican monkey (made of sandstone). I put him on white posterboard, windowlit from the right (cloudy day), a 50-watt desklamp to the left, no flash. Macro mode, aperture-priority mode, f2.2. Post-shooting editing: auto levels & unsharp mask. Hope he gets me a decent score!

Good illustrative shot. Mixing warm and cold light is a nice trick, though perhaps the cold is a touch overdone here, but it still allows definition of shape without loss of light. Good sense of texture, but a somehow unsatisfying image: perhaps just too bland a subject, in the end. IMO, of course.
