Support Endearing expressions on the members of this family group. Very few FPs of groups of monkeys. --Tagooty (talk) 08:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unfortunately, there is little in focus and the composiiton is crowded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:11, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a close-knit family group. The females were seen to be very protective of the young ones. The composition conveys this message. --Tagooty (talk) 15:15, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they would be. When I said crowded, I meant with branches of the tree. It is never ideal to have a PoV below the subject. Often unavoidable, though not so much with a very approachable species. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:41, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support I take Charles' point about the low point of view but I quite like the expressions here and it is certainly nice to have a family group Cmao20 (talk) 15:56, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just an observation, as I'm not ready to vote: Long-suffering-looking expression from the monkey on the left, but not very sharp. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose How far away was the camera? And how cropped was this image? What was applied afterwards as far as sharpening? 310 mm and ISO 1250 go a long way, but not all of the way, for me in explaining the background so noisy it looks more like a matte painting, and the similar unrealistic effect visible on some of the animals' fur. Daniel Case (talk) 05:40, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: The subject was about 12m (40') distance. Cropped from 6000x4000 to 4492xx3362. Only WB and exposure adjustments applied using Capture NX-D and Lightroom. No sharpening or NR. The fur may look different because the left one is an older animal. I could apply some NR if you think it would help.
@Ikan Kekek: To me, the face and hair of the monkey on the left is very well focussed. The baby and the right one are a bit soft. --Tagooty (talk) 07:35, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like the photo, but I'm not convinced it's one of the very best on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:35, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
