I was asked by a local painter to take the pictures of various species of monkeys at a monkey sanctuary for her then to paint, i had to try and capture their facial expressions that shows their feelings, it was quite a depressing photo shoot, i think their expressions says it all.

Thanks Julianne for looking, yes it was quite an emotional day, but thats what i love about photography, especially with animals, what you see is what you get, and these monkeys were no exception with their feelings.

It's a lovely capture you achieved yet again Bev. These shots of the monkeys are really outstanding as it takes a real pro to bring home the emotions within the camera, which will also reflect on the viewers as well.
Great work on these photos, and they are definitely photos that needs to brought into the light.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks Darren and Steve263, I waited for quite a while for this pose to take place, the baby was eager for a hug but mum just sat there, then it came together and that was the shot i wanted.
