This is a very good lesson, maybe I should call it:

HOW TO SPOIL A GOOD PHOTO.

1. Crop a lot, even too much.
2. Use no tripod.
3. Take the picture against the sun direction.
4. Use a ISO200 film wit a f=5.6 setting.
5. Have your kids around.
6. Hold you daughter's ice cream with one hand.
7. Lick the ice cream drops from the other hand.
8. Look through the ice cream on your view finder.
9. Take the shot.

I really didn't wan't to miss this incredible moment, an Urang Utan drinking a pepsi, but with the kids, the ice cream, the harsh light, the low sensitivity film, I could'nt make it better than this.
Sorry about the quality, but still I like this shot.

Wow - under these condions you should be proud of this fine image - thanks for sharing Yitzhak and for the homorous note :-)

That guy looks like he already had the value meal with super-sized fries, and should now rather have a diet Pepsi ... A slightly surreal, but definitely funny scene, Yitzhak. Your note is a real hoot, and as far as the picture quality why didn't you just claim you applied some kind of filter to protect the monkey's privacy? ;-))

Okay - maybe you're right! The quality is terrible! But you are really brave for posting this, and it is quite unique - something we never see. Who on earth would dream of an Urang Utan drinking pepsi. Although, we have lots of vervet monkeys that regularly come into the house to steal whatever fruit they can get. Maybe I should see whether they like Pepsi :-))). Great moment Yitzhak. You made my whole family laugh!

You should be proud Yitzhak! It sounds like you had to give it some great effort to capture this moment. Would make a great Pepsi commercial. Nice work Yitzhak, hilarious note :-)

It looks like you put some kind of PS filter on this image, Yitzhak. I do like the moment, and it tells an interesting story.

A very special moment and you got it (point Nb 9), even if the conditions were extremely hard (points Nb 5 to Nb 8) :)

hahaha...funny notes. pretty good PS. I think you have capture the moment.

Your comment on this one made me laugh (and Diana's ws even more), and I understand that, just for the comment, it was a worth to post. obviously, no improvement possible, but still a refreshing story in a much too serious world! Thanks Yitzhak!

I like your sense of humour.
