Noisy-night Monkey / Peruvian Amazon

Nice!
Remind me of bush babies...?

Lovely shot and eye contact Jeff... they looked quite relaxed.

Aren't they adorable!  One of my favourite little monkeys as well Jeff.  They mate for life so they get my admiration, and only weigh about 2.5lbs to just under 3lbs - and their chirping calls make me think more of birds than other monkey species.  Being nocturnal their large eyes just make them even more appealing.

So nice to get both together and with such different expressions.  A beautiful image with excellent detail and I think you have captured their characters so well. Wonderful image, love it! 

Gorgeous capture -- love those huge eyes!

That is the reason why I felt in love with them Gary, those eyes are just amazing!!! Glad that you like them!

Supper shot Jeff... you just have to love the expression on the one giving us a stare.

nice work.

Hey Bruce, thanks so much for the kind words, so glad that you like it. Greetings from Costa Rica!!!

Such a sweet family portrait, I like the one peeking around from the back! The composition showing just a bit of their habitat is effective. I know that a greenish cast is "normal" in a forest scene, still I might play with this a little to see what it would look like removing some of it, particularly in the more shaded areas. My 2 cents!
