Hi Guy
I can see what appeals to you in this - tender interaction, gentle handholding - all very awww... I think that it either just needs a touch of eye contact (even though I know that macaques don't like making eye contact - sign of aggression), or that the third (I'm assuming) individual is more part of the image. Again though - very nice atmosphere to it. BTW, was it taken through wire? If so it looks pretty good to me.

This was taken at the Monkey Forest in Stoke-on-Trent. The monkeys roam freely in 60 acres of wooldland. You can go in the there and walk right next to them. Its well woth a visit.

Nice shot, but a bit difficult to make out how many are involved. The little one gives a nice focus for the picture. Sounds like an interesting place, are there many different species there? Eric

Lovely colours here Guy - very rich - and as Eric said, the wee one makes a good point of focus in the image
I echo Erics' question too - never heard of the place which is a bit embarrassing as it's at Stoke which is not more than 20 mins down the road - tell us more

A lovely feeling about this Guy. The baby in the background makes this a great family type grouping. Graham
