I took this a while ago at Monkey World, Dorset, UK. It is through safety glass (hence the spots below the knee) but otherwise - what do you think?

Definately a problem with that image. It's all pixelated. Try it at 600px.

Thanks, I think I know what I did wrong (or at least one of the things I did wrong!) This is a bit better. Any other tips anyone?

It is nicely composed and well done through glass. I think it would benefit from a little post processing - levels adjustment, saturation boost and unsharp mask. Also size it down a bit as I think this picture is better when you see the whole image.

Thanks, I'll have a go - but I think Christmas is going to get in the way...

Oh my god!!!! it is like looking in the mirror :lol:

Actually I like it very much, even though as commented previously it could be sized down a little. I have a 24" LCD and still need to scroll around to see the whole pic. Thanks for sharing.


All the best,

Right, I've had a go at levels, saturation and resized the photo. I'm much happier with the results!! I've also made similar changes to a lemur, so I've thrown in that for good measure. Happy New Year.
