Hello Bhavya
Good to see another Indian contributor here on Wildlife. I like the scene and mood here very much. I also like how the leaves around the langurs form a natural frame for them.

I do wish, however, that there was more detail visible in their faces. As presented, the blacks in the faces are so much that there's not even a hint of the eyes to 'add life' to the image. I am sure if you rework from RAW you will be able to lighten the faces nicely without introducing too much "artifacting".

Great background for this group and a nice feel of the conditions of their habitat. As Morkel mentioned, a hint of facial detail would help if you can pull it out in PP.

Unfortunately this does not work for me

The image looks about 1-2/3 stops underexposed. With only one of them looking at you, the others fail to generate interest in the image.

I feel that going to a longer lens here and concentrating on only one would have been a better strategy and perhaps one you employed.
