Hi Pieter,
The details on the wet fur of this little baboon are just fantastic.
You have captured a great expression.
I can sure relate. We have been drenched in rain relentlessly for a month, and I feel just like him. : P
Thanks for posting. Good to see you. : )

Hi Pieter, great to see you post again, where are you these days?. Fantastic capture I just love this, excellent sharpness and the shallow DOF isolates him nicely. I like the side profile to expose all that spiky fur up his back, pretty much like me making it into work this morning soaking wet and the umbrella mangled. Big smiley from me, well done.

Hoi Pieter mooie foto, meestal hebben we in Nederland geen zin om erop uit te trekken met de camera als het regent maar jij toont ons weer dat het toch een pracht plaatje kan opleveren. Hoop dat je weer regelmatig postings doet. Goed weekend groet reina

Hi Pieter,
He doesn't look very happy, that's for sure! Technically great, detail, colour and DOF are all spot-on, and you've captured a great expression. Really nice shot.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Pieter,
haha, this one is realy a little poor - and we also have rain today. It's such a lovely shot, I love it, thanks. Monkeys are always nice and funny, have you ever been in Appeldoorn in the Monkey-park? I loved my visit there and like to go there this year again. Thanks and bye

Hi Pieter,
This is Outstanding! I love the tight composition and cropping, so all you attention is focused on the Baboon. Very compelling shot. Exposure is superb. Colors and detail are amazing. EXCELLENT WORK!

Hello Pieter,

Great to see a posting from you and such a touching moment at that.

Excellent details, colors, POV, and I especially like the reflective mood you have caught him in.

Wonderful image, thank you for sharing it!

Poor fellow Pieter, yes, so he looks so wet and miserable. You show him well - his expression tells us a lot, and his fur looks good all damp and messy - a definite bad-hair day I think. Good shot,

Pieter, I think this is one of your best photos. Great composition (maybe a little tight) very sharp yet fantastic blurred background. DOf is marvellous. You wouldn't know it was in a zoo because the surroundings all look natural.
Excellent, work, well done. Worth the trip!

VERY WELL DONE!

Hi Pieter, I trust you are keeping well, MF?

This capture shows the creature in a very pathetic mood. It is well captured though. But still sad to watch look at.

Hi Pieter
What a miserable looking primate, drenched to the bone and soaked as a sea sponge. You have captured an exceptional moment and presented it in a great composition for us to enjoy from within our comfortable hot & dry homes.
The colours are splendid and the DOF is spot-on showing excellent details on the monkey. The exposure was perfectly managed.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Pieter, a perfect an amazing photo.

Excellent dof, so that the bg is beautifully blurred. I like sharpness too. Great composition and title.

PS: as for the owl's leg, I guess it's not missing - that's a behavior they have. If you wish, check my today's post; all of them have "missing" legs.

Take care.

Hi Pieter, I love the way you've captured the fine detail of the spiky fur on this Baboon. That OOF BG makes sure the fur really stands out too. He does look very thoughtful - maybe he is wondering when he is going to see the sun again (it feels like its been raining here for weeks!) It's a lovely capture (great composition and POV too), well done :)

• annagrace (2992)

Perfectly composed and great detail on the soggy fur. He certainly is a dirty one! I like your DOF; the blurred background really focuses on the baboon well.

TFS,

Alli

Conmovedora imagen Pieter con un título muy adecuado.
Excelente DOF y POV, con un F4 exacto que permite apreciar el pelaje mojado con el efecto maravilloso que produce, sin interferencia del fondo.
Atinado encuadre y elección del recorte del original.
Saludos... Ricardo

Stirring image Pieter with a very appropriate title.
Excellent DOF and POV, with an exact F4 that allows to appreciate the wet coat with the wonderful effect that produces, without interference of the bottom.
Accurate framing and election of crop of the original.
