This photo is nothing less than absolutely incredible. I'm boggled by the capture! Amazing job and I hope one day I'm able to get as incredible a shot as you did! (Even if not the same animal lol)

A most intense image.... !
"make a critique" they say.... ! Dare I ?
To be perfectly honest the ONLY way I, me personally, can see to 'improve' this particular image .... would be to darken it... reduce the white light, but leave the contrast.
other than that I think it is a superb image.
Well done sir!

So this Japanese Monkey is your pet. Right? I mean it was entered into a "My Favorite Pet contest". Why? And next, why does Viewbug allow this? I tried to contact them & they said they were working to fix it - that was before the judging. And now here is a winner. A non-pet type of animal. Who are the judges that look at these contests anyway? I hope other people are complaining. They won't do anything unless everybody complains. It's not fair - it's not ethical - it disrespects other photographers who are trying to play by the rules. Sure it's a great capture....for some other contest. But not for PETS. Yet I see several Pet contests that this picture has been entered into. Why? I'd really like to know.
