Rhesus Monkey

Rhesus Monkey on a dead tree. There are two factors, which I enjoy in a frame like this. Simplicity and when an ordinary subject  poses like a star and make an impactful image.
Thank you so much for your kind views n comments!

Hi Jagdeep,

The large version is well worth it for the details present especially in the monkey's eyes. You may want to tweak up the contrast slightly--hard to say as the image is pretty close to ideal.  Colors are intense, but not overly saturated..................Jim

Hello Jagdeep,.. well captured with very nice details. The oof backgound clean is an added bonus.

Hi Jagdeep,

I like this one a lot - very simple (which always works for me), good subject (with great eyes), very soft background, and I quite like that the entire stump is in-focus. Very nicely done.

As a North American I have a hard time thinking of a Rhesus Monkey as "ordinary"! enlightened

Thanks for sharing this one...
