Japanese Macaque
Photographed during a trip to Japan in 2007. We only visited Japan because of these monkeys and had a wonderful week. I am already looking forward going back in 2009 :)
Canon EOS1Dmk2N
Canon EF70-200/2.8L IS USM + EF14
1/125 @ f/11
ISO320, RAW
Beanbag, anglefinder, fill-flash
Lovely, contemplative image ! Nice soft colors and sharp detail.
I think it's tough to get an effective wildlife image with no visible eyes
but you have succeeded !
I agree with Mike that this does work well w/o the eyes.
Truly wonderful and oh so human... Later and love, artie

Beautiful shot! Love the mist and the out stretched arm.
A fine image here... I think it's cropped a bit however.
This was cropped from top to emphasize the length of the arm.Originally Posted by D. Robert Franz

This is so well that it is hanging at the Smithsonian right now : D
Congratulations in having two Highly Honored images in Nature's Best this year, I got to see the "in person" and they rock!
OK, I understand and agree with that concept. It is a great image....

You know I love this one! The none eye contact emphasizes the behavior here IMO. Excellent!
Nice shoot. I like the delicacy in this picture.
