very cute. very bright mixdown. Will you try a more dense version from the RAW?
-
great light articulate detail
-
Super sharp baboons, very well executed. Probably a food related activity? Nice interaction between the two anyway.
-
Great shot, maybe one of them dropped a flea.
-
Great texture of the fur.
-
What a beautiful clear picture, as well as a fascinating study of their behaviour.
You + the 400mm + D4 are a potent combination when put together ;)
1/3333 sec doesn't do any harm too!

Appreciate your comment, thanks.
What would you suggest for a re-edit? It was bright when the shot was taken, I don't like oversaturated
or pumped up contrast, to my mind this looks how I remember the occasion.
Your thoughts would be appreciated Frank.

Appreciate your comments, Frank, Fons, KNB, bendle, Bruno and Colin.
Colin, the equipment should take much of the credit.
I bought this lens for it's ability to isolate subjects, did I say it was sharp, lol.
At f2.8 it's seriously sharp at f4 it's off the scale, lol.

Tony, you sure know how to use that lens I lust for!
The sharpness, colours, bokeh - all amazing!
I am sorry I don't see their eyes...

Thanks Jakov.
I agree about the eyes but sometimes it's nice to capture these animals being themselves and not reacting to our presence.
Had they both looked up I would have been pleased obviously :)

omg n self portrait.
love the bokeh

love the bokeh
Could be worse Elsa, if this were a self portrait I'd be mightily worried, lol.

Maybe a bit over sharpened?
Love the first image.

whahahaha - clearly he is worried to !!!!
On my side the images do not appear over sharpened
-
Anthony,
Thanks for your comment it's appreciated.
Elsa, yeah thanks lol.
As for the sharpening aspect I find it seems to be dependant on the monitors folks are using, on my apple 27"imac they appear ok,
I think monitors with very high contrast can make images appear more sharp.
I don't worry too much about web images though I try to be careful, obviously it's more critical to get sharpening spot on for prints.
The 400 f2.8 fl e renders images with a very high native sharpness already, perhaps more so than any lens I've owned previous including Nikon's fast prime telephotos.
-
In the first shot I'm missing the hands...
But it could also be intriguing what are they doing...
-
Tony,
After viewing this most engaging image several times, I have come to the conclusion that those two were up to something!
Thank you for sharing.

I love the isolation, the bokeh and your expertise in wielding this lens.
