Hello Teunie,
This one is amusing too..!
You capture a lovely expression, however I'm not quite sure what I read in those eyes...
Fine composition with good lines!

Hallo Teuni,

Ik vind uw titel al zo vebazend mooi, werkelijk uit het leven gegrepen, en hoe hij of zij daar vertoont is al een wonder, de ogen zijn het die de foto op en top maken, de kuif krijgen wij er gratis bij.
Veel succes vandaag in de Vlindertuin!
Groeten vrouw van John,
Jenny

Hi Teunie,
i like you picture of the shy animal, even it is's a bit soft.
I think he playing peek-a-boo. He have a nice hairdo.
Well composed, good POV and nice colours.
Well done.

Teunie, the guy seems rather shy.

I like contrast. I also have the feeling he's a little sad...

Hello Teunie
Almost you slipped one past me. Not so easy....
Great original capture of this Crested Celebes macaque - Macaca nigra. He seems to be a very shy one.
Very nice composition with lovely colours and sharp details. The exposure was on the button with perfect lighting and the DOF was excellent.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. Just as a matter of interest. Although Wikipedia calls it an ape, the only real apes are the Bonobos, Chimpanzees, Orang-utans and the Gorillas. Macaques form part of the group of 'Old World monkeys'. If you ever saw the original movie of 'Planet of the Apes' you might recall a scene where the space traveller (can't remember his name) called the old Orang-utan a monkey and he (the ape) nearly threw all his toys out of his cot. He snarled that monkeys are low intelligence, worker class citizens and he (the Orang-utan) was an ape, far advanced and superior to the monkeys. When one look at the zoological divisions of animals then you find that, the old Orang-utan was actually correct in saying so. There are 4 main divisions namely, 1. Primates, 2. Monkeys, 3. Gibbons, and 4. Apes. Anyhow, enjoy your day.

Hi Teunie,
Well composed and I really like the "hide-and-seek" thing going on here. Great detail and exposure in this very unique capture.
Well done!

Hi Teunie,

funny and well captured character portrait.
Pretty good shot!

If the original data allow more cropping, I think taking away the upper part with the tree might even increase the impact by totally concentrating on that funny Kiekeboe.

Thanks, Teunie. Have a good day!

Best regards,
Peter

ape, just like he was playing hide and ? like kids do.

lol what a great pose. Looks like his is trying to hide but can't because of his hairdo. The lighting is a little strange but a good picture.

Humouristic capture. Texture of rocks and subject is very good. Colours are realistic and show that the exposure was right on.

I have done a simple workshop. I wanted to see what the image would look like with the top (branch) removed. Does it give a different feel to the picture? I am not so sure.
