Nice capture of this mandrill. good use of depth of focus. I wish the majestic colors of the nose were a bit enhanced as it is a bit washed out. Very well done. Thank you for posting.

Mary,
A beautiful picture of the Mandrill enjoying a snack a sunbeam lighting up her face her sharp eyes looking around in interest. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Comment from Paul G.
I have said it a few times, but, I will say it again. I don't really like zoos. The animals always look so bored. But, this is the only way I know to educate people about animals. Especially endangered ones.

Very nice photograph. The focus is fantastic and I love the detail and exposure. Thank you for sharing.
