    Looking good, Randy. Nice compositions with interesting facial expressions and perfect exposure. A pity that you couldn't get all of the tail of the last one sharply focused but that was probably impossible without a merge of focus points.

    Nice set.
    On # 2 if you crop to eliminate the white stone, I think it will work well.

    Thanks, Geoff for the comments. I, too, noticed that the monkey's tail was out of focus. However, I didn't notice it until I reviewed the photos at home. I've never tried focus stacking, and really have meager PP skills.

    Thanks Jean. Regarding your cropping suggestion, I assume you are referring to the vertical portion of the stone structure on the RHS, If I crop that out completely, I'd lose a great portion of his shoulder and elbow, and that area would look too thin.
