Had the day off.. you'll never guess where I went..

Pan your @$$ off!
 
The problem with the Snerd (or a Celebes Black Ape as I would call it) is that it is Black. In a pic like this, there is too little shadow detail, which rather spoils it.

Wearing my retired zoologist's hat, I have to say that the sexual skin of female apes and monkeys is definitely non-photogenic. It is very difficult to get an aesthetically pleasing pic of such a female ape.

The problems with the Snerd are a lot more than that, trust me. You could film a whole mini series on that subject and only be scratching the surface. Lol. Snerd is a fellow poster here who uses a similar pic for his avatar.

As for the picture itself really given the lighting conditions and the equipment available I was quite pleased with it. Even moreso now that I got a chance to witness the reaction it got on tpf.

No, it's not technically perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But it does appear to have gotten a really good laugh out of a lot of really great folks. To me that's a success.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the technical feedback, just pointing out that there is often more to a photo than simply it's technical merits. YMMV of course.
