- Notes From the Field: “This was shot on last year’s Japan workshop. These snow monkeys are just übercool. During the cold winter months they like to bathe in the natural hot springs, very clever. For most animals, water is just something they need to drink or wash with, but these guys really know how to enjoy a warm bath. If you would like to join me on one of my workshops, please have a look at my website.”

Editor’s Review:
“I have seen hundreds of snow monkey images from this particular location, but this one brings special qualities in focus and lighting. With such clarity, I feel as though I could reach into the frame and touch these creatures. The backdrop of snow on the hillside behind them and the warmth of the fill flash on their faces brings nice detail to the overall composition.” — Steve Freligh
