Magical picture.
The tree monkeys with the fog in background...

Nice. I did a workshop to fix tilt and crop.

Vow ! Till today I would think of Pushkar Fair - and a picture of Camels in silhoutte would come in my mind only. But this is really GRRRREAT. Hope you could go close more to your subject, would be nice. Hazy city in the background adds more impact.

Excellent shot, Richard! I think that you should enter this in a competition in a UK-Wildlife Photographer of the Year category. It is well exposed and the composition, colors and sharpness are worthy of an entry.

Richard,
Welcome to TE
Well lucky you good capture with a good title
I like the background also,
The mist is clearing up and sun is raising
the monkeys are sweet too funny to see that all their tails have a different
Position
I made a WS

The monkeys are great, but that misty background just makes it all come together. I think I would have cropped out some of the wall on the bottom though

Michevious very well done picture/capture

strangiato (10) 2004-09-11 14:01

This is a wonderful catch. The monkeys, the light, the fog. But I think a crop would have worked better since the wall doesn't add much to the composition. In fact it's quite distractive.

Great capture and composition, the distant backround helps to emphasize the silouettes of the monkeys! Excellent shot!

Superb. Exposure spot on and the town through the mist behind the monkeys is absolutely magical. Even the langurs retain a small amount of detail and have magical highlights. Well composed, with the main elements dividing the frame into three. The best photo I have seen on TE in a long while and one that is really breathtaking - well done! Potential competition winner here!

simply marvellous! i love the foggy background, magical lighting, the moody purplish walls and of course, the moving monkeys (i think it's a symbolic of life and hope...)!!
my favourite. =)

Ditto what Stacey said - better than cornflakes!

Beautiful, my compliments!

andreineamtu (466) 2004-11-22 15:36

beautiful sylhouettes, and I especially like the fog in the background. nice lighting and contre-jour effect. i don't like the 'things' at the bottom of the wall - maybe cropped and perhaps landscaped (would loose though the top of the hills). I like that the houses have details, and are not that lost in the fog. nicelly done.

     aella (117) 2004-11-23 10:10

Wow, that's an amazing shot. Perfect 3-thirds composition, beautiful light and fog, and what a catch! I can't believe you only took two shots and it came out so nice.

I have to disagree on the critiques which suggest a crop; I think it makes the image look unbalanced if you get rid of the bottom 1/3. Maybe clone out the pipes instead?

Maru (0) 2004-12-08 16:17

The misty in the background just make the shot perfect. The composition and sharpness are brillant.
Very well done!

Belle photo ces singes sont là pour nous amuser devant ce paysage matinal de brume.

This picture is too much ... really a lot of fun to look at and beautiful above.

Nice everything! Good Job.

amol (952) 2005-07-21 3:36

hi Rich
good and unique composition... I love the hazy backdrop as then the focus is totally on the monkeys... I know that it was not in ur control but did you hope for the monkeys to be equidistant from each other... or did you wait for the third to come in the the same posture as the first two??? how long was the wall??? if short, then you hardly must have had any time to click this...

Jujube (125) 2005-08-08 15:12

Belle image reposante et amusante à la fois. J'aime le mouvement dans la silhouette des singes et les couleurs des maisons qui commencent à émerger de la brume derrière.

Hello Rich ,

There are plenty of monkeys around in India, but seldom have I seem a picture that depicts them in such an elegant way.
The fog over the city is a great background too. It becomes magical !

Excellent capture.

bishansamaddar (868) 2006-02-23 9:32

flawless composition. the light's magical. :)

rhodinia (120) 2006-03-27 15:44

Hello Rich,
Great capture! I think the fog in the background gives you excellent contrast for the silhouetted monkeys. Wonderful and lucky to have captured the three of them in one shot :) I think it's nicely composed and a fantastic picture. Thanks for sharing!

lasscor (7640) 2006-04-30 8:29

Great composition on blue and grey colors.
I like the line formed by the wall, the city under the fog and the three monkeys in back-light which run on the walls. Beautiful colors, morning light and sharpness.
Congratulations,
Corinne

iGirl (1223) 2006-08-22 16:03

Hi Rich, great lighting and composition here, it's like the monkeys are on a stage and the fog is a curtain partially obscuring the background. I just love the different poses of the three monkeys!

Thanks for sharing!

Once more a great shot the hazy city adds to the atmosphere, I dont know why people demand clarity all the time I prefer atmosphere so much more, another unforgettable shot.

noborders (1010) 2007-05-24 9:29

Long after it was posted, I discovered this photo on TE's 1st page : super, I'll add this to my theme and I hope that you won't object...
Bravo,
Cath.

Jason_teale (717) 2007-06-26 17:08

Simply wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything worked out so well for the shot. The monkeys are great and are distributed so well throughout the fame and the fact that there are some many elements in this shot, it just makes it so pleasing to the eye. Great work!!

Ces silhouettes de singes se baladant à la queue leu leu de bonne heure le matin annoncent une journée très gaie!

Hi Richard!

What a lovely and funny scene:).
I like also the colour and saturation contrast between the background - city covered with fog and those three small creatures which shapes are so visible on that background.
best

Nicely backlit and separated from the background.
