I took this portrait of a snow monkey, aka Japanese macaque, on my trip to Japan back in 2008. I was using state of the art equipment at the time. The monkey wasn’t impressed. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/3.2 at 1/125th of a second.
Nature is miraculous. This monkey somehow manages to have an inverted nose and, at the same time, turn its nose up at you. That’s some breathless David Attenborough shit right there.

Superb!
He certainly has one of the 5 features of a samurai – character. Excellent portrait!
Thanks Rachel. Amazing how different each of the snow monkeys looks. Each with their own character.
Fabulous portrait! (Although my husband insists he has seen this “look” before! lol)
Ha, yes, a very human look that I think we all can relate to.
