Had quite a good day photographing the primates with my brand new 30D!

Took so many I'll have to do one lot of primates at a time! So here are the gorillas.

Beautiful shots Nat, the first one to me is a winner, this one is a stunning shot.
The fourth shot in black and white is also a very good shot, I love the composition in this one.
The last one is a humerous one but has dignity with it.
An excellent series of the gorilla.

Nat, I can almost feel the texture of your shots ... they are like photographic paintings. Simply gorgeous.

Tremendous job, Nat!! Of course, I love #1, but #5 of the baby I find enchanting. Great job.

#4 really does it for me. If I'd taken it, I'd be rushing out to get it printed and framed. The others are up to your usual high standard but #4 has a lot of emotion in it for me. Your darkening technique doesn't work in #1 for me. I think the light that you can still see on the Chimp ruins it.

Hi there Tess320,

Don't you please wanna take a minute or two and explain your workflow on eg. Pic #5, not the CC stuff, but sharpening, etc...

I mean from RAW to finish, cause the photo is sharp, yet soft (if that makes sense?) let me try and explain it this way, it looks like a film shot?

thanks,
Derrick
