Black-mantled Tamarins

One from our Ecuador tour this summer, a troop of Black-mantled Tamarins paid a visit to the lodge at Wild Sumaco. I was attracted to this vertical composition when 3 of them posed together in the tree.

Nowhere near as cute as ?chuck's Owl Monkeys, Nate, but an excellent composition. I really like the way the three are arranged with the diagonal branch coming down. The long tail on the one to our left adds a lot. The techs are spot on.

A great image, Nate. I am not familiar with this animal, so I appreciate the opportunity to view a beautiful image of them. The details and color is really great.

Nate, seems you guys got some nice monkey portraits down there. I like the curve of the prehensile tail. Looks like the third one is standing watch enlightened

for this portrait.

Nate: not only are the animals attractive in their own right, they form a nice triangle and are also well framed by the greenery. No nits on the techs. Congrats! Richard
