Dawn Patrol
Uploaded: February 24, 2011
Avoided shooting directly into the sun and using the other hand as a hood extension to shield the 35mm Nikor lens, captured a backlit wild monkey patrolling Islamabad City Look Out atop adjacent Margalla hills on a misty morning as the sunlight cast long shadows. Rawal Lake shimmering in the morning sunlight can also be seen in the background.

Works for me, Usman - a beautiful scene, and the monkey adds a really unique touch! HTD! #9265936Mitch Spence February 28, 2011
Well, I think that's just dandy for the theme, Usman. I so enjoy that wild monkey coming across the frame, and the backlighting on him, and the long shadows, and the misty city with a touch of sun beyond. #9266172Michele Peterson February 28, 2011
