This is a mona monkey in Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary in Ghana, taken in March this year. They're very entertaining little monkeys and the experience there was on a par with seeing the Zanzibar red colobus. A horde of about 100 people tried to ruin it by crowding around some of the monkeys and expecting them to perform tricks . Luckily they quickly got bored when the monkeys understandably ran away, leaving the place in peace again!

Sorry Adam, I missed this one.
What a lovely shot of an unusual subject. If it was mine I would try another crop. Perhaps a LS with the monkey toward the bottom right hand corner walking up and across the frame. If you don't have enough spare picture, lose a little off the right and a bit more off the top. If you were too dampen those highlights as well and lose the stray branch, I think it would be a real beauty. He looks very intent on where he is going. Eric

Lovely detailed capture of an interesting monkey! Unusual refreshing background!
