Do not often see photos of these guys in trees.  Nicely done.  I like the stare you caught in this image.  I think you could crop it more to let the eye focus more on the gelada.  For me too much blank space.  Neat photo, thanks for sharing.

Hi Helena,

The eyes are both powerful and haunting. I see John's argument for a tighter view, but the image as posted works fine for me.

Cheers...

Helena,

I agree with Johns suggestion to crop a bit tighter. Other then that technically a nice image.

I really think that a larger crop  would result in a lower quality,
