(c) Monkey from Lima Zoo

Spent some time watching these monkey fool around and interact with each other in Lima zoo. Thought this one eating was quite interesting so took a few images

Cropped for composition and brigtened up the eyes slightly. Selective sharpening and toning down of BG. Couldn't do much to not have such a cluttered BG really

Thanks for your comments

Hi Shane - Nice to see something a bit different. The comp works well with the inclusion of the tail. The bg is a bit busy and not ideal but there's often not a lot you can do to avoid it in the zoo. You might consider lightening the eyes just slightly but not so much as to look artificial.

TFS,
Rachel
