Last Saturday we went for a trip to a small zoo where I shot this picture of a Peruvian Squirrel Monkey.

I like the picture very much. The only thing I did was a little cropping. I thought about PS the background (left side) but decided not to at last.

Hope you like the picture too.

C&C as always welcome

Might be captive but still a very nice detailed image with a good pose from your subject.

Great portrait, beautiful light and colour, and cracking pose. One of the best zoo shots I've seen. did you have a clear line of sight, or wwas this through glass or fencing?

Hi all,

I'm a little overwelmed by all the compliments.

Thanks for that.

@creg
Yes, I did have a clear view. But the wheater was bad. So I was surprised by the quality of the pictures. This one was I think my best of a day at the zoo with the photoclub I did join this year.

One of my fave monkeys and very nicely taken. The perch and pose are wonderful.
