This is my first submission here. Had fun with my new sony and my mexican monkey (made of sandstone). I put him on white posterboard, windowlit from the right (cloudy day), a 50-watt desklamp to the left, no flash. Macro mode, aperture-priority mode, f2.2. Post-shooting editing: auto levels & unsharp mask. Hope he gets me a decent score!

I like it :) very interesting. Might have gone with softer lighting or a darker background.

Lots of clear 'Texture' on the monkey. Must be made of sand?

The texture is here. The subject and composition don't hold my interest.

Good illustrative shot. Mixing warm and cold light is a nice trick, though perhaps the cold is a touch overdone here, but it still allows definition of shape without loss of light. Good sense of texture, but a somehow unsatisfying image: perhaps just too bland a subject, in the end. IMO, of course.
