Sunday, at the San Diego Zoo.
Using Randy's most excellent Gorilla portrait as inspiration, I headed straight for the Apes.... they co-operated nicely.

    These are all great, but the first one is my favorite.

    #1 as well - great depth of field. B&W really makes it stand out.

    Cheers, Richard.

    Excellent work, Eric. I, too, find the first shot particularly appealing.

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

    Hi Randy - so glad you like 'em!
    At times, faces of any species can be compelling.

    Thanks much for the comment Richard.
    I was lucky to be about 6 or 8 feet away (with just the enclosure glass in-between) and got the bokeh.

    Thanks for the feedback Cristobal - always appreciated.
    I do all my conversions in LR (now 4) - I think it works very well.
