A Mini Monkey

[lastboltnut]

I went to the zoo recently and I think this is one of the more decent shot I have...I seldom shoot the nature, so hope to get some tips here.

BTW, can someone please share the ID of this tiny monkey?

TIA.

it's ok,we're all here to learn,many ppl confused monkeys and apes anyway,apparently,i've checked on the internet,they belong to the primate family and yet,they're monkeys,checked on dictionary as well.

apes-Any of various primates with short tails or no tail at all
monkeys-Any of various long-tailed primates (excluding the prosimians)

good shot, not easy to catch these nimble guys, i havent even got a shot of them myself. not sure if its just my screen but the picture looks like it got dark corners, would be better if its brighter so we can see the eyes

i have to agree it's a good shot.Never took a shot of them before,ppl are always crowding near them cause they look adorable,i don't think it's your screen,i have dark corners too,the fur on its head reminds me of mullets in this shot,

Hi toffeespin,

I introduce some vignette to isolate the subject from the background....but I make sure the vignette did not "invade" into any part of the cotton top tamarin...May be I should adjust a bit on the Shadow/Highlight to bring out more the left eye of the tamarin...

Thanks.
