    Rudi, this is exquisite!
    The pose, the rim-light, and the overall image quality makes this one of your best yet for me...
    Just enough detail where it needs to be, and a cracking mood - with the little glint in the eye topping it off for me.

    Loved this capture the moment I saw it. The light is of course what makes it so special. I love the halo of light around the monkey and the glistening grass. He's got a great perch and the viewer can see enough of the monkey to make this a strong image.

    Hi Rudi, very nice indeed, love the colour. If you have it, personally a little more room above, but no deal breaker.

    Looks like he/she is practicing in holding the 500
