Sweet shot, Ken! Love the expression and you've got great separation from the background while showing the monkey's habitat. Nice light on the face as well! Highlights on the leafs on the right aren't ideal but aside from throwing on a polarizer I'm not sure there's too much that can be done there.

John,
Thanks for your suggestion, I suppose I could have cropped to vertical.
