 Melbourne Zoo - December 27th - two days after I got my Lensbaby - made a promise to myself to only use the Lensbaby for the day.

Hadn't had a chance to use it before and this was one of the first images I'd taken.

Oh - I know it's a bit dark, but I purposely kept it that way - it suits him.

This is almost straight out of the camera - I LOVE it!

It really does suit him, the darkness. Seems to echo his mood. Very solemn.

"Classic" use of the LB to isolate the subject. I agree, the dark, almost somber, lighting suits the shot.

Am sure you'll cherish this as its one of your first with the LB Lisa. At first I thought it was a touch dark but it realy suits those wonderful colours and yes, the 'magnificent' beast.

I was going to let my Zoo membership lapse this year but might just renew it based on this.

The lighting and colors really make this picture for him. Great accessory for such a subject. (although to be honest with you, I'm terribly afraid of anything monkey-related, big time!)

Amazing creature. And locked up in a zoo.

I have had my LB on since January 1, and its driving me a bit crazy.

Their expressions are so human-like, it's eerie. Fascinating creatures to watch.

So you and this Roflmao guy had a Melbourne GTG, and I wasn't invited? Fine!
