monkey

I've been in Brazil for 3 weeks on vacation, surprisingly havent taken any pictures really besides this one. Let me know what you guys think, I want some harsh CC, PP ideas/suggestions, etc.



Kinda wish I took it with a slightly higher aperture but whatever.

 

this one made me chuckle outloud. I love the simplicity of the background..it helps to bring out the texture of the monkey boy.
EDIT: total screw up..didn't see your last statement.

As you said, I would have opened up the aperture too..other than that, this looks great

 

Thanks. He was so close to me (like a foot away or less) I wanted to shoot it 1.8 to really bring out his eyes/face, but now I wish more of his body was in focus, and I didn't have the chance to change aperture before he moved, oh well.

 

It looks good, but I'm not sure that B&W is best... (not exactly 'contrasty')

What does it look like in color?

 

x2 ^^ would like to see the color version

 

Lucky. I want a monkey

 

I'll post up the color version in a little bit.
Tried bumping up the contrast but the detail that I wanted in his eyes got too dark when I did this, so I just did it a little bit.

 

In color, personally didnt like it as much:

 

Now the color one is much better! i really like that!

 

x2, like the color, the green really makes it great

 

x3 for the color.
