Eagles and Monkeys.

[yshon2209]

These shots were taken in a popular tourist destination in Malaysia, Langkawi is a small island a few hours by boat from Penang, Malaysia. The island is filled with wildlife, especially monkeys! they're everywhere!... a lot of them are very aggressive towards people so you cant get too close, I had to use a 70-200mm lense for most of the shots, but i managed to find one with a very kind face that kept following us and let me get very close to him. (he's the one with the portrait shot).

I now have a lot of respect for bird photographers. They're so quick and very hard to capture in motion!

Feel free to leave any comments critiques welcome!

Nice set! Love the portrait shot especially - lovely bokeh and colors.

WELCOME to DPS
These are a nice set of shot. Too bad the last is so dark because that is an awesome capture. Is it a fish eagle?
The monkey shots are good..especially the portrait shot.

What a cool experience to be able to photograph there. Great captures! TFS.

thanks everyone! why didnt it occur to me to brighten the picture of the eagle in PS... im not sure what type of eagle that one is, but the white one is a sea eagle, it's much bigger than the rest, my tour guide told me they eat small monkeys!
