Wow, a monkey on a highway? I love the monkey's pose -- it does look like he/she is just chillin'!
Great picture! #827894

Yep, on the highway. That's one of the great things I saw in the Sarawat Mountain chain, South West of Saudi Arabia.

Great wildlife & architecture over there.

Thanks for stopping by, Sarah. #5327307

Thank you Brett.
You know, I hesitated a lot before taking this shot. I was almost sure that the lighting conditions were going to give me a hairy silhouette. But I thought, hey what the hell, give it a shot and see what you get from it. And to my surprise it came out this way but needed some minor tweaking in exposure, framing and some patience to get the look I wanted.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by, mate.

Hi Saad, beautiful shot, I really enjoy the rim lighting and the fact that you also got detail in the fur and face. Great shot! #5327574

Hello Thomas,
Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad that you like it.
BTW, the midtone slider in levels from PSCS2 was my best friend during the process. :P

Thanks for stopping by, mate.
