Monkey On The Road

[KRIS]

Hello Friends,
I found this friendly little fellow on the road, while we were driving back from the forest after snapping the Mammoth family. I had all the time to get down from the Jeep and take his snap. But last moment some thing on a tree distracted him and he looked away. The next moment he scampered away and I could not take another shot. Pls do tell me how is this shot.

Please include the following information, if possible, with your image: EXIF info, type of camera, specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question).

KRIS,

Good work, getting the face detail. That would make a good close-up, too. You have some very good opportunities for subjects there.

you did a wonderful job on the exposure and the depth of field is good too....

thanks for sharing

How I would love to see this guy on my way home. Nice job. The focus and exposure are right on.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your comments. Please guide me in this, how do I send the exif info with my posts?.
When I open my pics on the Adobe CS2, I can find it listed. But how can I transfer this info along with the photographs.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
KRIS

Good catch KRIS. It would have been perfect if you managed to capture its whole tail as well but I know it could be challenging to capture this kind of animal.

Thanks Pal,
My main worry at that time was not to lose this fellow as these guys are pretty fast. Yes the tail would have been a bonus too, as it was very long and Black. These guys spend a lot of time hanging on their tails from trees. With a family of wife and two kids always around we tend to forget the rules of photography. But have decided to go alone in to the woods this summer without the family for a couple of days and see if I can improve my pics.
Thanks,
KRIS

I like the fact that he is looking to his left. It makes you wonder what he was looking at. Nice shot.

Good shot, great focus, and i like him looking to the left as well. I would have tried to get more of a rule of thirds going on, but theres nothing wrong with having the monkey centered either.
Unfortunately the only place I'll see one of those up here in Canada is in a Zoo
