Interesting shots, Awais.:D

The first two are really nice. Very good exposure of a backlit subject.

Great shots, Awais! The one I really enjoy is the ram shopping for a new pair of shades! He seems to be pointing with his horn towards the orange pair.......nice choice! Now that's a shot you don't see very often (at least not here in the states!)

Hi Saurora !
And look at his collar and little bell !
May be he is selling the shades

and not buying them

Excellent set Awais.

Swartzy · November 14, 2006

These are super Awais!
Roaming free you say? The first one cracked me up....it's like, "Hey, you lookin at me?" Nice job!

I really like what you have here Awais

. Personally speaking, I find the low opacity watermark distracting. I thought at first it was some artifact like flare. Don't get me wrong, you have every right to do this, and if people are cheating you, you must be doing something right. Maybe if someone nicks my pictures I'll be more understanding

good set of shots --why the paint ???

Seefutlung · November 15, 2006

Interesting and nicely executed (but the third monkey shot could have used some fill-in flash, assuming the Sony has an on-board flash). In the US, seeing large animals intermix in an ruban setting is unusual. The shots look like they were taken in a rural community?

Paint nothing special it is known as Hina or Mehndi samething you may have seen on hand of eastern women

it is fashion here to paint and decorate animals like this Horse goats etc but not for cat or dog yet if someone do no problem

Thanks

Thanks Gary i agree with you infect i used fill flash but i think it was not powerful enouph to reach them

No it was not urban they gattered road sides because this is road to famous hill station people love to see monkey jumping so they are there all times everyone feed them while passing i shot that portrait from about 2 feet light was not good so only few shots worked

Btw in Islamabad you can find monkey near mountains but in India you can find them everywhere i saw it on Nat Geo

Thanks

I agree with you but i also dont like to use it

You don't post very much in this forum but if you do than it's always a great pleasure to watch them.

I like this first the most, the last is something special. Well done!

Thanks for sharing.

Dick.
