Ok naman. Yung monkey shot, for me, you could have stopped down a little more to get more of the background. So the viewer would have a sense of the monkey's surroundings. Bokeh is great to have, but considering yung background, the little bokeh that is there, is distracting. And your lens isn't the fastest nor shallowest, so better use it for what it is capable of doing. Besides, with the short distance ng background and subject, even if you use a 50/1.0 noctilux or a canon 50/0.95, bokeh would look terrible IMO. Unless you shoot the monkey from a lower angle so the background would be a little further. The shot would have been better if you shot it at f8 or f11. The foreground too, the green thing (leaf?grass?) distracts the eye from the subject itself. kung wala yung green, mas ok. Pero since you were using a telephoto here, I guess you wouldn't have had much room to maneuver the shot... so it's all good
Yung streetlight, may flaring, which would have been expected shooting straight at a light source pero ok naman. Pero, in all honesty, the composition is a bit too cliche... parang lagi ko nakikita ganyang klaseng shot. (I know kasi madami din akong ganyang shots sa archives ko! haha)
The monkey shot, again, works for me... sorry to nitpick kanina.But I like how sharp you got his face to be...
Again, this is all IMHO... whatever works for you, may not work for me, and vice versa... in the end, you create art to please and express yourself...
