Hallo Sky
Pleased to meet you. I love the pose of this Howler Monkey with its tail wrapped around the branch. It looks as if he has no cares in the world and that he is actually posing for you with food in his hand. Great sharpness and fine colours in this well-composed capture. I've heard of them before but never seen them, making this photo very special. Beautiful pose with great eye-contact. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Very comical image Sky.
Really shows this monkey's amazing acrobatic skills. Eating, while hanging from a thin branch by your tail, while studying a photographer :-)
Great exposure and lighting.
Superb sharpness.
Looks like your having an awesome time in Costa Rica you lucky thing :-)

Well done Sky,

Joe

Sky,

An unusual species for me! The POV is not an easy one to take from but you have done well.

The detail, sharpness and Composition are all great.

Very fine image of the Howler Monkey, Sky.
The fellow seems to be busy eating and looks back at you indifferently.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Sky.
Very cute picture. I like mutual understanding between you and your charming model. Great eye-contact and very attractive pose of the animal. Despite the contrast subject you have exposed image very well. Details, sharpness and DOF are perfect as well as the natural lighting and colours. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Sky and nice to see you back here :)
Hope you are well :)

I see you've been away in Costa Rica, too lately :) I'm sure it's as beautiful there as people say and i also see that you've come back with some nice photos for us.
This howler monkey is a very interesting animal and one we don't get to see a lot of here on TN. You capture is very good - with excellent sharpness on the monkey and catching it in a very natural and relaxed pose.
Very good DOF here, too and also a good exposure.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Sky,
Wonderful shot of this Howler Monkey in its natural domain and I like the way it balances with the tail. Very hilarious but common pose. Immaculate sharp image with nice colours. Great eye contact and I like your POV to portray this scene. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Sky,
Someone was watching you, great capture of this fine species I bet their howl would be a great wake up call, if one hadn't partied the night before, lol. Thanks for sharing this fine image.

Hallo Sky,
sehr schön komponierte, klare und detailreiche, im Halbschatten gegen den hellen Himmel ideal belichtete Aufnahme mit einladendem Augenkontakt. Schönes Dokument einer eindrucksvollen Reise in die Tropen von Panamá.
Vielen Dank - und herzliche Grüße,
Peter
