Great picture. Nce posture. Next time I go th Delhi I will find some time to go to the zoo.

Now here is a stern looking charachter. The expression on his face says 'don't mess with me, I'm the boss'. Great capture of this wonderful creature. Nature has place some wonderful creatures on this earth, and those creatures have allowed us humans to share their space. TFS

Good portrait, colours, detail, focus are all good, as is the eye contact. Well done.

Hi Radz,
I like the hairdo ! Great picture, only one little remark - I think the USM put some graininess in the back foiliage. Maybe better to unsharp with that part deselected?

Composition: ****
Sharpness: ***
Color: ***
DOF: ***
POV: ***

Very good portrait, good details. It's just a bit noisy.
TFS.

Great hairdo and look, Radz! I like composition of this portrait and colour of its eyes. Pity that BG is so bright.

He looks like a professor in his toga!
Great photo. I realy love it!

Radz, He has got the look, there is no doubt! Excellent portrait with good details..Well done!!

This one reminds me a cartoon (probabably known all over the world) showing a boss in different situations: sleeping on his desk... "don't wake up the boss, he's thinking", paying court to a lady... "boss is not at his desk, he's in a business meeting", and so on...So, you really have the boss here, but he looks very serious. Very good shot, just noisy on the right. I have to laugh, it looks a bit like my neighbour :-)).

This is the boss. He is very particular about being well groomed. He reminds of someone but I can't mention his name here. Very well done

Good portrait her of this Lion-Tailed Macaque. The colours, pose and details are just right. Love his eyes. TFS.

Great image, it is indeed a stern look. Probably upset at being captive. The deatil is very good, the only nit is the background noise in the top right, which you could have 'fixed' using a blur tool.

Great portrait Radz.
I like his expression.
Very good composition, details and pose.
Very well done.

Very well done and thanks for posting.

Good shot the BG is well OOF allowing him to stand out well.
out of points.

Radz, nice portrait. I do like it. Great POV and composition to show us this beautiful animal.

Keep on shooting other animals...

Framing, fine detail and those eyes make this a stunning portrait. Too bad for the grainy background. Fortunately it is not too distracting.

He 's a real boss, a tough guy. Never seen a monkey like this before.Expression is very typical.
Colors, sharpness and composition are great.

Hello Rathika,

Another beautiful picture of yours! Excellent close up of this macaque! The composition is great and the colors look very bright and natural! Almost like posing for a photography session! I like the way you handled the light. Exposure is perfect (considering you shot against a bright BG) and sharpness spot on! Excellent use of DOF! TFS!

Regards,
Eddie
