Well worth the wait I would say Hilary, and I like the dominant colours in this image, black, white and green. Also like the tail lying parallel on the branch, and catchlight and colour in the eyes. Well presented colobus shot for me.
Thanks for sharing

It's hard to get them in anything but dense foliage and I think your patience paid off in terms of getting a "clean" portrait here. Nicely exposed too. It's a pity the light was a tad harsh already...but hey not much you can do about that. Did you get any shots inside the forest?

Hey Hilary,
These guys are tough!!! Ususally the tail hangs down too low!!! Excellent job on this!

Well done Hilary, have been there myself and know how difficult it is to get them out in the open, nice eye contact also.

I have, will see what's suitable as I go through them.

Hi Hilary, nicely composed with good detail in the fur, with no blown whites
I just feel it needs some contrast to give it some 'pop' and depth to the subject, but just watch the face. May wish to selectively apply any adjustments.
