This is a stunning capture of this Gibbon. Thanks for your good artists notes. I have just fallen in love with these animals. Those eyes and expression just draw you in. Nice superb eye clarity and beautiful capture of catch light in his eyes. Your details of the fur and the whiskers excellent. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much Stringbean :)

Comment from Envision
This guy looks great! You did such a nice job getting that black fur to carry the detail and texture through to the finished product. His face shows good detail too including those whiskers around his mouth. They are really interesting animals. I have been shooting a couple, one black, one gold, at one of the zoos here but haven't captured one yet that I like well enough to post. I almost posted one yesterday but it isn't half as nice as this one :)

Thanks again, they are very quick when on the move.

Comment from nikman
Maybe its just me but this fellow looks just a little bit sad? Your full and central composition is very appropriate and gives us a fine view. The image is sharp and your good exposure ensures that we have lots of good detail to enjoy. Well done and good luck!
