Monkey Show Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is the border area between Palpa & Rupandehi district of Nepal. On the left side of water fall, teeth of Ramapethicus (ancestor of human being) were discovered few years back. When I was taking photographs, lots of monkeys were watching me from the bridge. In this shot, monkeys look very small on the wires of bridge, yet they are an important part of the moment.

Water worn gigantic rocks, colorful fishes, shaky bridge, series of green hills and the roaring water fall, everything is so special for me in this photograph.

Hi Bishwas

Welcome to TE community.

Great shot, good composition and pov. Good dof. The rocks are lovely, the waterfall and water flow is well captured.

The bridge is fine. I would think the monkeys are too far and small to be main title. Main focus is better on waterfall and rocks, in my view.

Well done!

TFS,cheers
Bill

Biswas,
If I may suggest you, Go back to same place in an evening or an early morning (dusk or dawn). Time the shutter for slow speed (may be 1/30 or 1 minute). keep the aperture to low and use tripod. A waterflow effect with this marvelous blue waters would make a masterpiece. Sharpness is ok. And please do not watermark the picture. that brings down the quality of the picture
Thanks
Rajesh
