Rhesus Monkey

Rhesus Monkey was having a great time on the tree, while female picked up the insects. He wasn't happy being photographed in his happy time, so started threatening, while upside down.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Nice expression! I think maybe he needs a little more oral hygiene!

Neat image! Good capture of his expression. Maybe he didn't want to share the grooming! Thanks for sharing.

Unique pose, they appear to be monkeying around..

I like the way the tree limb arches across the bottom of the frame. Is the monkey on the left inspecting the other for parasites? A slightly higher pov might make that interaction more apparent. Super photo.

Great job of capturing a emotional moment. I think a higher POV would take part of the humor out of this shot. I really like it as is.

His threat looks funny as opposed to threatening!

Cool and engaging image jagdeep, the main subject immediately draws the eyes of the viewer there. The green BG looks a little noisy and may need some attention if you intend to print this large. Though the monkey in the BG adds in a way to the scene, I think this would have worked even better though without it. (beyond your control I know

)

I like the upside down pose. Is there a slight greenish tone to their fur? Reflection?

To a surgeon, like me, he looks as though the anesthetic has worn off while the surgery is still going on!
