I like it, Milo. Nice sharpness for such a low shutter speed. Good head angle - I like that he is not looking directly down the lens barrel. The diagonal composition of the body is a plus. I wish its right hand was fully in the frame.

Could defenitely use a bit more contrast and would have loved to have seen it with a bit more room all around. Love the eye contact and the very very cool pose. You did great with the setting as this tends too look a bit busy in tropical rainforests. All in all a very nice shot!

I like the diagonal composition of the monkey but as Steve mentioned, clipping the hand was unfortunate.

Love the pose (nice facial contact) and inclusion of the BG leaves. Would've liked to see what he was grabbing. I think it could use a tweak in levels to gain a bit more contrast.

Very nice photo Milo, but if its hand would have been in the frame it would have been perfect. The repost by Steve with the increased contrast does look better IMO.
