| Keith, just wanted to come back and comment on this as I have just been watching a documentary about these monkeys. Absolutely fascinating. They seem almost human. I love this one. |

Thanks Sarah, I had two honourable mentions, both with Snow Monkey shots. Just shows DPC is a good test bed. I've learnt such a lot while I've been here. |

What can I say....wow. I'd have loved to see the look on your face when you saw this group arranged this way. Especially the one lying back. It's one of those moments when you must have thought "this is going to be a very special photo!" It's one thing to have the skills to set up and take this great shot....but it's another thing to be there when something special happens, such as the "pose" they struck at the right time. Magic for any photogrpher!! I am a novice, but I hope to be lucky enough to capture some great moments like this one and to do them justice like you have. It's not just a great shot...but a great moment you've captured.

| I've never been a big fan of animal shots on this site, but this one goes well beyond just a "look at the expression on that animal's face" kind of composition. You can sense the closeness of this family/pack. The shallow DOF works well for this one as well. Best I've seen thus far in this FS and certainly the best animal shot I recall seeing. |
