[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Black Spider Monkey
This monkey has incredible acrobatic skill. They can swing arm over arm through the trees faster than a person can run. They also hang from branches by their tails, which leaves their arms and legs free to dangle in the air.

Hi Sky

Maybe I should train to do this then I don't need to put so much strain on my legs.

Well done with this shot. You even managed to have its complete tail in the frame, which is something that gets lost so easily with primate photography. The composition is great with the brightly lit shrubs and the darker upper side of the photo splitting the image in two and it gives a nice balance to it all. Natural colours and sufficient details make this a well balanced posting.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Sky,

Hi Sky.
You skillfully have separated perfect detailed FG and nice, excellently blurred BG. Very good work. Expressive lighting, natural colours and funny captured scene this is far not complete list of merits of your shot. My compliments and TFS.

Encore une belle photo bien nette, de bons détails et une bonne luminosité. Les feuilles en dessous du singe sont jolies et le font ressortir. Thomas

Hello Sky !
Great action picture ! You have caught the monkey at the perfect moment. The composition of the picture is splendid (it's nice that you didn't cut the tail), and I also like the colors and all the beautiful details. Must have been a great moment to watch him play in the trees, thank you for sharing it with us.
Valérie.
