I think this photo turned out really well using a flash fill in, but perhaps a little bit too cheesy for my liking - it wouldn't go a miss in a tacky Mediterranean beach resort selling as a post card, but I like it none the less.

I did feel sorry for the monkey being tied up all day, when it should be free to roam the forests of Zanzibar.

Great photo...i also feel bad for the monkey.. thank´s for shering...

Hi David,
Interesting result using a fill flash, I like the background very much (did you take another picture of the sunset?). Good composition but sad knowing about the monkey situation.
Saludes, Iris

fill-in plutot bien dosé et personnage très appliqué dans un cadre très agréable, bravo

This is just wonderful David. The monkey with the sad eyes in this nothing but excellent setting. Impressive and very, very good...
(God knows how this critic is according to TOS - but that is always interesting finding a really top snapshot amongst all the more common - to be forced to blah blah a lot. Well, sorry for the frustration..)

Hi David,

This shot really caught my eye, however I was sorry to read that the monkey was not free.
I understand now the sad look of his eyes. Still it is great background with the sunset and the sea.
