Absolutely love the back lighting effect of this one and your conversion to B&W makes it a powerful image for me.

I agree, very nice effect with the backlighting and the b&w conversion. I do think there are some details in the shadows on the face and chest though that are worth extracting just a bit. Try bringing the midtone slider to the left in levels to around 1.10 or 1.15. After that I would then dodge the shadows on the face a slight bit more. It will still have the air of mystery but a bit more definition. Also, I would suggest editing your post to change the typeface to black. The white is very difficult to read. I wound up selecting it to be able to do so.

TFS,

Rachel summed up my thoughts exactly. I like the mood you were going for but I feel it's too dark in the areas of the langur that matters.
Should be easy to extract some more detail - though you may have to do that before you convert to monochrome and add contrast...
