[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus) is a tail-less macaque. Found in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco with a small, possibly introduced, population in Gibraltar, the Barbary Macaque is one of the best-known Old World monkey species. Besides humans, they are the only primates that live freely in Europe. Although the species is commonly referred to as the "Barbary Ape", the Barbary Macaque is a true monkey, not an ape.

It is yellowish-brown to grey with lighter undersides, growing to a maximum size of 75 cm (30 in) and 13 kg (29 lb). Its face is a dark pink and its tail is vestigial. The front limbs of this monkey are longer than its hind limbs. Females are somewhat smaller than males.

Ha Annick,
mooie dromerige expressie op het gezicht van de aap. Bijna menselijk.
De zachte contrasten en kleuren geven het geheel een rustige ambiance. Mooi!
Groeten, Jacob

bonjour annick
ce singe a comme une ressemblance avec le president des usa,bien sûr l'un des deux est surement plus intelligeant!!
c'est encore un tres beau portrait.

This is another beauty, Annick. What a great animal park you must have. I agree with all the other comments even the ones in languages I do not understand because I know they are saying wonderful things!

Много добър портрет с едно мнение да бъде малко по-средно линията на челото, очите, носа и устата.

Hello Annick,

This is a cracking close-up with a perfect DOF.

Regards

Ian

Hi Annick,
I like this one as the softness and detail of the coat show up well even though it is a backlit subject. Just enough lighting on the face to get a catchlight in the eyes.
good portrait.
Well done,
Peter
