 Mr_Pants Was kind enough to lend me his 180mm Macro Canon EF L glass today for this shot.. WHAT A LENS I WANT ONE!!!

This guy is as old as me but has more hair


est score - 6.8
dream score - A new personal best 7.4

I LOVE this shot, his expression the colours the eyes, everything to me says FINE SHOT. I hope YOU, the voter agree with me and then Ecce Signum will be wearing frilly panties for a year on his profile pic.

An unique portrait... I especially like the "metalic" feel to it...

Totally great photo MAK, and it scored well enough to keep you out of those frilly panties.

What can I say other than Congratulations MAK! Wasn't the landslide victory for you that I'm sure many where expecting and you were right, I needed a PB to get you.

No wonder I never saw this as yours, was looking for an HDRI landscape lol. You certainly captured the moment here m8 - congrats (honestly!)

Colchester Zoo, unfortunately this chimp is very old and not in the best of health, he is the one that is always inside rocking himself against the bars. He just looked at me like this, I had to shoot him.

Severely underrated IMHO. I expected to see this in the #1 spot. Beautiful work.

This was an instant fave the moment I saw it. Congratulations! so close to the top10. Since they started announcing it monthly, this was one of the most enjoyable free studies to vote on in recent memory.
