Close to Home SooC by Alan Webb, on Flickr
This Saki Monkey is (tenuously) Close to Home both geographically and geneologically. A rescue saved by Monkey World. i=phone unedited.

ooh yes, sorry, forgot all that in the excitement of creating a new 2024 thread, doh!I take it you're in for 2024 then Alan (a you didn't post to the sign up thread). I've added you to the scrolls now.
Please don't forget to add the theme to you post in the main thread and link through to your personal thread
Good composition, using the pen as a leading line and putting the paper at an angle.
The colour looks accurate and the lighting is even.
I was wondering if a shallower DoF would have focused the eye more on the 'killer' puzzle, but then saw this was taken on an ipad, so you would not have had control of that.
Like the composition and idea, perhaps the pen could have been positioned more towards the quiz, like you wouldn't know where to start
I was just sat at the kitchen table whiling away some time with a couple of the puzzles when the idea came to me so it is literally a “grab and go”, quite liberating sometimes. But plan to be back to DSLR next week. Or maybe not, who knows!Great interpretation on the theme. Chuckled as soon as I saw it. As to feedback, being SOOC and taking on an iPad, I don't have any other then keep at it.
I still have no idea where to start with it!Nicely done.
I think the square bottom right is 8.
Oh, I hadn't noticed it was SooC as it wasn't stated in the main thread. I'll update the scrolls.Great interpretation on the theme. Chuckled as soon as I saw it. As to feedback, being SOOC and taking on an iPad, I don't have any other then keep at it.
Me either.I still have no idea where to start with it!
Interesting take on it Alan. Not sure if I;d clone out those few bright bits.
Yes, moot point. I had different tries with differing amount of reflection, and decided that those two relatively subdued spots actually added to the context. That’s the joy of art, different opinions, different ideas, different outcomes !Looks correctly lit, as @-Oy- mentioned, maybe those bright spots should go. Or not? Not really distracting. Anyways, good shot and an interesting take on the theme.
A beautiful, haunting, abstract.
Glad you explained what it was, as above
Thanks, I was pleased with it. Difficult getting the focus point right, I found, with a fairly open aperture to get the shutter speed.Nicely done. I would've been well-chuffed with that.
