Photographed during a trip to Japan in 2007. We only visited Japan because of these monkeys and had a wonderful week. I am already looking forward going back in 2009 :)

Lovely, contemplative image ! Nice soft colors and sharp detail.
I think it's tough to get an effective wildlife image with no visible eyes
but you have succeeded !

I agree with Mike that this does work well w/o the eyes.

A fine image here... I think it's cropped a bit however.

This was cropped from top to emphasize the length of the arm.

This is so well that it is hanging at the Smithsonian right now : D

Congratulations in having two Highly Honored images in Nature's Best this year, I got to see the "in person" and they rock!

OK, I understand and agree with that concept. It is a great image....

You know I love this one! The none eye contact emphasizes the behavior here IMO. Excellent!
