Comment from Sange
Well Done Mary!
You have fine eye clarity which is very important in a wild life capture. Your focus is good and you have nice details. I would have worked on this in editing a bit by Removing the not spot up top in background, adjusting highlights/contrast and darkening a teeny went bit wit a very slight vignette. Far loads tend to wash out our work.
But, Even without those minor tweaks this is a stellar shot of a Mandrill with well handled white balance!
Nice work! =)

This is a good image. The clarity of the head area against the blurred background together with the Mandrill's expression gives a very pleasing result. Many thanks
