Kris Kros's Photos

I got more animals to showcase. However, the response that I'm getting with the animals was not favorable and I can easily get bored with a series especially when it lacks support from my friends.

So, I'm back with my first love. The Wheels.

I started working on this with Photomatix. First, I tried my old extreme style that made me known to the HDR world. I was praised and in some quarters, got stoned too. However, I was not happy with the old result and decided to go for a subtle HDR.

Then, I loaded the HDR image to Photoshop CS2 to work on levels, saturations, curves, etc. And still, I was not at all satisfied.

Finally, I decided to play with my imagination. The funny thing is that I came out with something HDR is not supposed to be. HDR in my opinion is a flat image where highlights and shadows are on equal terms. I'm not a proponent of the flat HDR image where the shadows are almost eliminated. I love my image to be composed of lights and shadows. So, this is the final image where I wish will win your most coveted approval.

In summary, this is 1/3 Photomatix, 1/3 Photoshop and 1/3 KK Touch.

Thank you all.

Fabulous Feet of Tamarins

* The scientific name 'oedipus,' means 'swollen footed,' and refers to their long claws.

* Both hands and feet are equipped with sharp claws for gripping onto trees.

* Primates have grasping hands, and often times feet, which are very useful in movement and gaining easier access to a variety of foods.

Happy Furday

Cotton-Top TAMARIN

Saguinus oedipus

* Cotton-top tamarins are found only in rain forests and open woodlands of Colombia.

* They are named for the white hairs that seem to stand on end atop their thinly furred face.

* Jumping from tree to tree, they feed on fruit, nectar, nuts, tree sap and gum, insects, and other animals.

* Tamarin populations have been negatively impacted by hunting, illegal pet trade, use as laboratory specimens, and habitat destruction
