This is a good high-contrast shot. If you have a plain background, you can try a small aperture setting to get wonderful contrast for B&W. This one would have been even better if the depth of field was shallower to prevent the background from becoming a distraction. TFS

An excellent portrait of an interesting subject. I like the way you have the monkey in sunlight against the background in shade. The sun streaking through its fur really sets it off. TFS

An eye-catching composition. TFS

Wow! You must have been very close to get this shot with 190mm lens. Great detail but I think it would have been a better picture with the subject's head off-center. TFS I hope you like the workshop.

Wonderful B&W. I like the way the tall buildings echo the bars in the foreground. TFS

Wow, that's a good-looking monkey! That's an interesting expression on its face. I always like B&W. Really good focus and depth of field. TFS

Beautiful composition and lighting but it looks like the focus was on her hand and not her eyes. Maybe a smaller aperture would have helped but it appears that you were dependant on natural light. TFS

Great B&W. Just enough contrast with good composition.

This is a very dramatic shot, almost like a painting. Good choice of B & W. Wonderful composition and light.

Excellent action shot and good composition. Good light and color in spite of the dust kicked up by the horses. TFS
