About the Image(s)

My wife and I were in Costa Rica in January (seems so long ago...).
Among the many kinds of wildlife we encountered were these Capuchin
monkeys. We saw them as we wandered through several national parks, but
this particular fellow* was with a group enjoying the spoils in a hotel
dumpster we walked by. He climbed up on top of a wall providing me with
a nicer background. I caught him in a variety of poses, but was
especially taken by the profile pose. The color version is nice, but I
found I liked the way the monochrome emphasized the texture of his fur
and the blurred highlights. I also found I preferred a vertical crop
over the horizontal. *Note: I have no idea if this monkey is male or
female. Forgive the presumption of gender.
The processing was done in LIghtroom and Silver Efex Pro II, mostly
playing with color filters, contrast, and structure. I lightened the eye
a bit and added a vignette.
