I photographed this probocis monkey at Bako National Park in Borneo this September. It was tough getting these guys in pleasing light.

I love this photograph. What a delightful face! Reminds me of a deceased uncle who liked to hit the gin pretty hard. My wife especially likes this image. :smile:

Hi Nate,

The light looks good here. Maybe just a little tight on the extremities, but I'd be real happy with this one :)

This guy looks like he thinks he's God's gift to female monkeys. Pretty fun shot.
