That´ s a nice one ; good centralization of the head, in combination with the branches and the edges of the picture. Yellow-white and brown-white are the main colors. Interesting detail of the fingers and nails.

Thanks for letting us know! You have presented quite an interesting shot here. That's a fascinating monkey to me. Can't recall ever seeing one like this before. It's framed quite well by the branches, but I feel they are too dark and need lightening?

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Thank you for the greetings on this Chinese Lunar Year!
Our Chinese brothers and sisters believed that the monkey is 9th animal that arrived during Buddhas wake.
And by his peculiar size and skills & talents, the Oriental people always believed that this creature brings good luck when we also strive hard to attain that goal--not just waiting for it to knock at our door.
Thanks for sharing...
