Ken,

I like the pose of the baboon and all over you managed a pleasant composition. Technically also very good.

Subject looks great, Ken.  You have to be happy with that pose and side view of eyes and face.  My eye notices, howeve,r the closer out of focus zone only in the lower left, making it feel as if the image is sharply tilted.
