About the Image(s)
While going through my old folders of images that I came across this image made way back in 2008.
It was during my visit to a fair at our adjoining town that I came across a man with a pair of monkeys dressed like human beings. He was conducting their shows by making them perform to his tunes. I made this image shortly after the performance was finished and they found it good to relax. I had waited for about an hour or so to make more photos when they again perform, but they did not as long as I was there.

Camera-Nikon D80
Lens Nikon 18-135 mm f/4.5-5.6
Focal Length 112 mm

I downloaded the image and processed in photoshop.

Your words tell a great story. In photo competitions the image must tell the story. We need to see this man and his monkeys performing for this to be an image for competition. Posted: 07/14/2025 15:05:04
Background grass could be darker and you might leave more room above the man's head. Otherwise, I like the relaxed aspect of the scene and the monkeys are great.
I think your image does tell a story. Posted: 07/14/2025 17:06:28

Yes, I should have retained more space above the head but there were some distractions which made me crop that area. Posted: 07/14/2025 17:21:39
