He(or She) seemed to be isolated from others. Seeming to like the lonleyness. They have many charcters. Quite same as us.

Hi Takero,

this your series is just wonderful, the expressions of these little monkeys always very funny.A baby, i believe, with a mischievous look in the eyes.Very human look.Nice the reflection on the still (and hot) water of the thermal spring.Against the soft BG the figure well stands out with all its details.

Hello Takero,

What a cute image of this snow monkey.The baby looks sad as it is not with the other members. I like the colors, sharpness and mood.

Hi Takero,
molto particolare questa foto con la scimmia protagonista della scena.
Mi colpisce la sua espressione un pò pensierosa e il suo riflesso sull'acqua, dando simmetria all'immagine.

Well done!

Hi Takero,
Your series of snow monkeys is really great, but this one I find very special with the reflection of the monkey that you have included in the composition. He is so beautiful and I like his direct look. Every detail is so clear on his fur and face.
Regards
Wanda

Hello,

It is a subject I saw time to time in newspapers and each time I spent time to enjoy this pictures of wildlife.
You caught something well in this spirit with this shot and there is originality on this portrait thanks to the blurred reflections.

Yves.

Hi Takero,
A very tender picture of this sad and wet little monkey. I guess it fells very comfortable in the warm water. A very sharp and pleasant picture!
Kind regards
