These guys are just the funniest with their schnauzers - and to think the ladies go for the guy with the biggest honker! 
Nice side profile here...perhaps a wee bit oversharpened? And some of the bright spots look a tad overcooked, especially back of the neck?

Oh Nancy...I am so tempted to touch the screen right now...if only to see if that cute nose is real:) What an extraordinary subject to photograph! I am fascinated with your Proboscis Monkey, and so glad you had such an amazing opportunity. Quite jealous too!
Nancy, if this awesome fellow was mine I would try a few things in terms of composition... like taking off the bottom a little, and if possible giving him quite a bit more room for that awesome nose to "look" (or "sniff") into. I do not mind square crops in general but I feel that such a pensive, reflective look on the subject's face might benefit from a bit of space, WDYT? I am also tempted to take off from the RHS.
Lovely detail, the colours are fantastic, and I agree with Morkel on the sharpening and those bright bits. Nevertheless a superb capture, I truly enjoyed viewing and cannot wait to see what else you have in your folders...does it get any better than this?
Kind regards, TFS,

Hi Nancy - It certainly looks like you had a great and successful trip. This a great portrait and certainly shows off his nose. I agree with Morkel's suggestions and with Gabriela's for a bit more space in front if you have it. If your ethics allow, you might want to blend the oof area just to the left of the monkey at the bottom. Looking forward to more images from your trip.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Nancy
This is a real eye-catcher!
Love the detail in the fur and face.
Rp works, I would even suggest an 20% crop from bottom in OP...
The far away look in those eyes, what was he thinking about...
Seems that size does matter...
