    What a face! Excellent detail and nice warm colors. BG is very nice. I also like how the tree forms an "L" and grounds her into the image. I'd lighten the eyes just a bit and also try to even out the dark and light spots on the rockpile(?) behind her as they're pretty contrasty compared with the rest of that creamy BG.

    Harshad, you have got the wrong guide, this isn't a Tiger. :D

    Why is it that these monkeys always look a 100 years older than they are?

    For me this is the best image you have processed since moving to the 7D. The detail and clarity is there, however I would agree that you need to lighten the face (around the eyes) only, just a fraction. I would also go for a slightly tighter crop, (come in from the rhs just before the elbow, come up from the bottom to the tip of the leaf shadow) as there is a lot of clutter in the BG and IMHO the crop will not degrade the image.

    Good luck with the next trip.

    I guess your IOTW award for Langoors inspired me to take this :D:D

    Lovely shot in every way. Love that L already referred to. Langoors/Langurs always look even more human than chimps to me and I think they are great photographic subjects - but not always easy to get close to here in Thailand, where I live now. I would wish in an ideal world that the more in-focus leaves around the edges and the branch poking from behind the bottom could disappear, but it's beautiful as it is.

    Harshad, the sharpness makes this image very good. with their dark faces, these are difficult to expose. Fine job.
