Smile Furious

Furious

Once in one of our local zoo i saw this furious little guy in the monkeys sections. I jumped on the occasion that he stayed shortly immobile to take this shot.
I did, in PSP X2, removed some noises, and cropped a bit. If not, the shot is almost original.

Exif

What is your impression?

I like the subject the shot is nice but bottom right corner has some blurred distraction....also I would have had a not so tight of crop and positioned the little guy a bit more off center to the bottom left. Other than that a nice shot...Love the expression....

Hi Drax,

Nice subject, background, context and the colors.

I prefer to see some details at the bottom, IMO the bottom is tightly cropped. As xxpinballxx pointed out more DOF could have been better (Did you shoot through fense or kind of net?). Though I agree its difficult to shoot animals, a catch light/little more contrast in his eyes could be more interesting.

Greetings,
i agree that the bottom could have had some centimeters more. May be i will go back and try to snap another shot, paying attention to these little details i missed on this image. Thanks for suggesting.
Yes, i did shoot through the thick protection glass. I think that, though he was angry and shouting, he was being curious about what i was doing to have this shoot. I was doing everything so fast, knowing that he will soon change his position. How i wish my reflex could have a f1.8 or f2.8 lens.
