Mike,
A beautiful picture of this lady Barbary Ape looking into the far distance & maybe wondering where her baby has gone? Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

a great image of one of the barbarry macaques of gibralter, I like the black and white image which I feel always adds more to the scene, great focus and clarity on the monkey,
well framed. good luck in the contest.
