    Default Rhesus monkey - alarm call

    Harshad, one to make you feel at home.;)

    Taken in Bandhavgarh, just as you enter the park, turn left there are some water holes with an old lookout point further on where these guys used to hang out, not sure if they still do? Any sign of a Tiger, or danger and out go the calls, that's if the Sambur or Chital deer haven't beaten them to it.

    Very cool Steve. Good sharpness on the monkey and tree, which is at a diagonal (always a strong compositional element). About the only thing that would improve this image is a more even - less bright BG but that is minor.

    Well done.

    The diagonal branch really holds this nice composition together Steve, with the awesome alarm call by the Rhesus monkey very well depicted here.

    Well caught Steve, Good to capture the action.

    I agree with the strong composition using the diagonal and I would try and tone down the lightest area in the BKGR.

    What a nice set of teeth. Great expression too. Sharpness, color, and exposure all excellent as usual.

    Great image. Love the color and the open mouth. Also like the way the subject is sitting on the branch. Very powerful.
