    Good work, Randy. I've been curious a long time about that second critter....the Mandrill Baboon. Coloration on animals serves many purposes: camouflage, an aid to attract the opposite sex, a warning to others that it's best to leave you alone, etc. I've never understood exactly why the Mandrill Baboon has such a colorful face. I do know that they can be one fierce creature.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Howdy Randy,

    These are really nicely done, I can't tell you how many times I've
    tried to get my images to turn out like that and have never gotten
    anything close to how crisp and sharp they are.

    Plus, it always seemed like the Mandrill was trying to tell me something
    by not showing his face :D
    Take care,

    Craig

    Hey Tom,

    One thing that always amazes me about the Mandrill, is it's hair. Every single shot that I've ever taken of one, the "grizzled" look makes it look like the image was sharpened to the moon, which they aren't. ne_nau.gif

    Hello Mr. Craig,

    I was really lucky on the first shot that the sun was streaking in, and spotlighted the face. thumb.gif

    The second shot; I don't really like the comp, but the full un-cropped shot shows a little too much eek7.gif If you know what I mean rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for looking and your comments thumb.gif

    :giggle That explains the look with him then. Couldn't figure out those eyes and
    what they were revealing. ne_nau.gifD
