OK, not my self portrait... anyway, not sure if this crop of the alpha male Mandrill, Mandrillus sphinx, taken at Singapore Zoo.
Image
1/125s f/5.6 ISO 640, -2/3 FEC (cropped)

EOS 1D, EF 300mm f/4 L IS + EF 1.4x II, 550EX, tripod


P.S. Updated the image with the last edited one. Deleted the original edit.

Wish we could see the entire 'beard'.
very nice and impressing. Exposure is great and so are the colors.

such colourful creatures.

techs are spot on but as the long nose leads the eye down the frame, the whole beard would have been nice.

That's the ticket. It's better now with the whole beard. Well done.

Wonderful shot Tim! With the whole beard is the best IMO. 8) 8) 8) 8) :)

The repost is better!

It does look a touch soft to me. Perhaps a bit more USM?
