Hi Annick,

Another fantastic portrait shot. It looks quite sad. Technically the picture is perfect. Well done.

Hello Annick,
Beautiful portrait of this Saki monkey. Look like he is not in good mood. A well done picture. Crisp clear and well exposed image. TFS,
JC

Hi Annick,
A very expressive face!
I don't know if he is sad or not, but for sure this is a very expressive portrait.
I like the tight framing, and the eyes direction of the monkey.
The face structure is a very particular one, with all that skin's folds and textures, and the white whiskers over the almost black skin.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Annick,
Details, textures and the expression is very interesting. My personal choice would be to include the whole head in the frame, but I guess you wanted to emphasize the expression more.

Love those eyes, brilliant detail and reflection in them. Good exposure and well caught expression.

What a face, Annick.
It is interesting how the whitish hair and the dark hair have such different textures. Those little bristles on his nose and upper lip would drive me crazy. I am NOT kissing him!
Great shot with a lot of expression.
TFS. : )

excellent portrait and crystal clear. Well done

Beaux détails on voit même le reflet dans les yuex.
Bravo

Hi Annick.
What a perfect and touching portrait of this sad animal. If it knew, that you will share its portrait at TN, its mood would improve. Did you say it about this?

Perfect crop, amazing details and colours but the reflection of state of mood is the best. Bravo and TFS.
Alexei.

Hello Annick!
Another very nice picture, and lovely portrait. I like DOF, close POV, and colours. The only thing I do not like is the white space on the left side of monkey. Is it a natural BG or effect of working with the picture?
Best greetings,
Radomir
