Wow, Oscar, it definitely has an echo of E.T. to it (which is one of my favorite movies). Great use of DOF in this closeup where the monkey's hand makes contact with the human finger. Fine textural detail in the animal's anatmomy, too, great catch.

Creations spin... :)
Great idea, and very well done.
The background is a little too strong, but that a minor problem here.
A lot more to enjoy than to critique.

Hola Oscar
Lo que me impressionne son las detalles del piel y del pelo del mono. Que uñas tiene ! La mano se destaca muy bien del fondo.

hola oscar,
exceptional work,
rarely can we see such a study of nature here on te (i mean - qualitative study);
this is a gorgeous light and dof emerging in this image, so plain, so innocent, so symbolic,
should go for a budge for a green peace activists;
best wishes, j.

Hi Oscar,
This is some picture! Lovely expression of making contact between monkey and (wo)man.
I love the sharpness and the detailed monkeyhand in front of a unsharp background. Very well done! CU, Erik

Wow what a brilliant photo. Not only is the subject of the two hands touching quite amazing as well as the difference in the hand against our hands, but the quality of the image is spot on as well.
A favourite.

somehow i have a mixed feeling about this photo. I find it very touching but also i feel a bit uneasy looking at this little hairy hand... knowing it is a monkey does help a bit though! It reminds me of the famous "ET", this little martian...
great shot

Hi Oscar
What an extraordinary picture!
It makes me think twice about the film E.T.
It is one of the best I have seen on TE.
The photograph is perfect.
Congratulations for the quick reaction and the composition.

Stunning shot all around. From the subject, the framing, the palm/fur texture and it's sharpness down to the bokeh. Very unique to TE (from what I have witnessed).
Great work.
