You really captured their ... humanity. Nice work and the BW rendering is excellent.

Re: PESOs: Simians via Bigma
The bigma looks pretty good in these pictures! I like the one through the dirty glass especially!

Re: PESOs: Simians via Bigma
Both are excellent portraits, but the detail and the expression make the first really special. Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.

Re: PESOs: Simians via Bigma
Both nice, but prefer the dirty glass shot. The slightest bit of catch light locates the eye and makes the image.

Re: PESOs: Simians via Bigma
Very good indeed. One of his friends should tell the monkey, or is it a gibbon?, about tweezers.
