Hi Folks,

A posting before taking a break during the weekend...a close-up of a distant cousin.

Not quite sure what is in his mind...gotta ask him in the language he understands.

One thing is for sure and that I understand....he wishes all a great weekend ahead and no monkey business during the weekend.....:)

Thanking you in advance for liking this Darwinists' distant cousin.

Agoes

Hi Agoes,

Wah ini foto saudara tua kita ya? . .

Happy week end bro . .

Hi Agoes,
The green provides a wonderful BG and contrast for this marvellous closeup! Magnificent colors, details, sharpness and DOF.

I definitely DON'T support the belief that we are related to these animals.
But this fellow does look a cutie. I love that look she's got in her eye, and pretty coloured hair too,

Bonjour Agoes,
Un très beau portrait, sympa ce cadrage sur le côté.
Le BG très "vert" s'accorde parfaitement avec le sujet.
Bonne journée

Hi Agoes,
Nice posting --- excellent lighting and details. Good moment captured and yes- what is he thinking??? TFS Julie

He is my fast friend.

Hello Agoes:)) Very good portrait:) I like expression of his face and eyes;) The kind of expression that is really hard to get from the human model;))
TFS,
Siarhei

Hello Argoes,

What a wonderful, detailed portrait of this gentlest of cousins. The differing textures, the tonal changes and deep expression are all there.
I like the way you have cropped it. Now, all we see are the parts that make us identify with and consider.


Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Agoes; great portrait. Great colors - the red against the green background. Also like the skin texture and hair, and the eye contact. Great job.
Trudy

Hi Agoes

Whose distant cousin??? :D
What a little poser!
I like his "look" :-)

Great shot. Have a nice weekend!

Assalamuallaikum Agoes,

Ini memang betul-betul sharp dan details jelas sekali. Nampak bebola matanya yang menjeling. Mungkin dia perasan ada org mahu ambil gambar dia. Seperti kata tjutjut ini memang potrait yang cantik.

Well done dan selamat bersahur.

Well, This "Distance" cousin is comming very close by, haha
Excellent portrait, Agoes.
Suppose, you took it with a "Mirror" camera ?
He looks a bit FatUp, with you, How many shots, you needed to come up with this gorgeous result ?
Complements, dear friend.
Selamat Petang.

Assalamuallaikum Agoes,
I like the framing of this genetically related cousins of mankind. Sharp as I can clearly see details of his scalp, and his facial expression is so darn adorable. Best regards, Danilo
