Thai Monkeys, a photo from Krabi, South

Photographer's Note

Not one of my usuual subjects, but i couldn't resist. As you walk from Railey West to Phra Nang Beach past a caved section of cliff, you regularly come acrosss a tribe of monkeys. Here I found an interesting pair. The old one has seen it all before and is too cool to be photographed, whereas, the young one is still intriged by man and his shiney gadgets.

Nice one. I like the expression of the little monkey. Too bad the adult looks away. Good effort nevertheless!

I have been to the very place and photographed the monkeys myself :) They are amusing to watch and often provide quite a spectacle but my experience was that they are quite difficult models. Similarily to Pieter I admire the little monkey's expression. To critique I must say the colors are not the best and I think the white-balance is little bit unnatural, resulting too green-blue image. Also, perhaps the exposure time should have been a bit shorter. Right now the darker background is nicely visible, but the moneys in fron are a bit overexposed. As the background is quite messy jungle, you could have sacrifised every leaf and branch being well visible for a better exposition of monkeys. The DOF could have been shallower to better distinguish the monkeys from the messy background. I hope you find my critique useful! :)
