Thank you for your critiques yesterday.Today I upload another Macaca portrait. I guess this one is a little bit older than the one posted yesterday.
Definitely another character...
I choosed a vertical presentation for a change; also 'cause the animal has 'broad shoulders'...
Thanks for looking. Nice day!

pp:
more or less same workflow as yesterday

The macaques (IPA: /məˈkak/) constitute a genus (Macaca, IPA: /məˈkakə/) of Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae.

Aside from humans (genus Homo), the macaques are the most widespread primate genus, ranging from northern Africa to Japan. Twenty-two macaque species are currently recognised, and they include some of the monkeys best known to non-zoologists, such as the Rhesus Macaque (as the Rhesus Monkey), Macaca mulatta, and the Barbary Macaque (as the Barbary Ape), M. sylvanus, a colony of which lives on the Rock of Gibraltar. Although several species lack tails, and their common names therefore refer to them as apes, these are true monkeys, with no greater relationship to the true apes than any other Old World monkeys.

Several species of macaque are used extensively in animal testing.

In the late 1990s it was discovered that nearly all (circa 90%) pet or captive macaques are carriers of the herpes-B virus. This virus is harmless to macaques, but infections of humans, while rare, are potentially fatal.

Hi Annick,
Great expressive portrait.
He does'nt seem to like what is going on looking at the facial expression.
Technically perfect work, but I did'nt expect anything else from you :)
Wonderful light and perfect clarity in those lovely eyes.
Thanks for sharing and the great note.
Best wishes,
Harry

Hi Annick.
Stunning detail in this portrait. Exposure, sharpness, colour, all spot on. Absolutly superb.

Kathleen

Ooh look ... Its John Howard!
A wonderful portrait of this Macaque.
The details and exposure are great.Taking the blue down just a touch might help bring out even more detail, although its very good as it is anyway.
Excellent work from you as usual.
TFS
Cheers,Steve

Hi Annick.
Your new equipment in your skilful hands makes wonders. Quality of your pictures is outstanding as well as the choice of photo model and selected pictured moments (scenes). Superb expression and reproduction of the animal. Bravo and best wishes.
Alexei.

Bonjour Annick
Quel beau portrait, très expressif.
Bonne netteté.
Très beau travail.
Christian

Hello Annick
Which beautiful portrait, very expressive.
Good clearness.
Very beautiful work.
Christian

Excellent portrait of this rather annoyed looking creature Annick, with the point of sharpness right where it needed to be - on the eyes.
It's very well taken, although I do find the crop a bit tight. I'd have preferred to have seen more space around the macaque's head, especially on the right as he is looking in that direction.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello Annick,
Another great portrait. How can one make a theme "Intimate Portraits" ? Wonderful shot, TFS

Regards,
Anil

Ha Annick,
