Hello NatureScapers:

I hope you folks aren't getting (too) tired of these snow monkey pictures.. They really intrigue me.. I made this image last weekend at a local exhibit. Fits the motif anyway.

Thanks for looking and for any comments or suggestions..

Cute and fuzzy to the max! Your image has an exceptionally clean, smooth, yet very sharp look to it. Very, very nice!

Very cool image. I like the composition of three. It is more interesting that the one is looking at another and not you.

Did they recognize you as a vet that was visiting to give them shots?! Did you steal their lunch? The expressions are great! Wonderful shot with LOTS of character.

Dennis,

Your Snow Monkey images are all outstanding. This one is no exception.

They look like they are having trouble deciding which is going to put their hands on the mouth, eyes, ears... Sorry I couldn't resist.

Dennis, I'm glad they weren't looking at me with those expressions! These guys really crack me up. Perfect composition and exposure - like usual.

Great shot! Looks like these guys could do with a little attitude adjustment.

I have never seen one of your shots that made me tired Dennis they are all truly an inspiration, and this is no exception! Absolutely stunning image with so much to study and enjoy. The interaction is wonderful, expressions priceless, composition superb, techs - spot on as always. Its the little things that take this one to the next level for me! - the eyes! the hind feet clasped together as though self-conscious! and that belly roll!!

An absolutely priceless image in so many respects.

Now if you have only gotten one to cover his eyes, another to cover his ears and the last to cover his mouth you'd have a PRICELESS image

As always well done and deftly handled technically.

ROFL. I've loved all your snow monkey shots and this one's no exception. This expressions of the two on the end are hilarious. You gotta wonder what they're thinking since they sure don't look happy. But it's the one in the middle that really confuses me with no hair on the belly.
