I really like this. The light is wonderful and the reflection really adds to the image. Maybe a little more room on top. Other than that, great capture.

Love the precarious look in its eyes, and how it is prepared for running off at any moment. That's really what life in nature is like, and you captured that essence very well here!

Very cool Jagdeep, retaining the reflection was key, well done.

If you have more to the left, an alternative maybe a 16 x 10 to emphasis even more that 'press-up' stance of the drinking monkey, just a thought?

Wonderful. Not even what appear to be vehicle tracks detract from this beautiful image; in fact, I think they add to it. You have captured in the posture and eyes of the monkey how vigilant and careful they must be in even the most basic of tasks.

Hi Jagdeep,

This one is really solid - love the pose of the monkey, including that extended right leg. Light, exposure and colour are all great. My only tiny nit applies to something totally out of your control - that rectangular indentation in the mud that appears to be a tire track - but this is an incredibly minor thing and I suspect only a low percentage of those viewing the image would ever notice it.

Nicely done!

Cheers...

Brad

Very nice shot, Jagdeep, I love the light and the framing here. I'd probably have opted for a shallower DOF to make the monkey stand out more from the background, but that's personal. Splendid shot!

Grt, Ingrid.
