When I was going through my gorilla shots last night, I came across this image of a black and white colobus monkey that I had originally overlooked. I like shots like this that show a lot of the animal’s environment — in this case a giant tree in Kibale National Park. Kibale is well known for its primates and is home to thirteen different species, including chimpanzees. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/200th of a second
Agree with you on including the environment also. Gives a bigger picture, so to speak. 🙂 Black and white wildlife always stands out, from large primates like this to tiny black and white warblers. Beautifully captured, Sean!
I can’t really remember where I was when I took this one — although I’m fairly certain not a tree. I had to look at the date info to remember what park I was in.

Environmental shots can indeed be every bit as charming as portraits, especially when they tell a story like this one. Really beautiful framing.
great back ground and pic.
Wow what a great shot. I envy you so much having this as your job seeing wild life rather than humans. Thank you for sharing.. Well done 🙂
