[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this image at New York's famous Bronx Zoo. The image was taken through thick, dirty glass, and I had to find a good position behind the crowd to get the shot just right. A long telephoto lens was needed. I don't know what species of monkey this is. I just know she looked like "sleeping beauty." :0)

Amazing shot! Great details and a good choice of narrow DOF. Well done

Hi Sam,
fantastic shot! It rally made me smile. Good composition with narrow crop and beautiful colours. I envy you thi shot because I myself tried to take a picture of a monkey in a zoo through thick glass but the result was faaaaaaaaaaaar from being satisfactory. So congratulations once again.

Hi Sam- what a great shot- even more incredible that it was taken through glass- very sharp, the colors are fantastic this is a beautiful portrait of this colorful but sleepy monkey!

Well done!

Steve

Hi Sam,
Quite a rare sight in TL... an animal photograph where the subject is neither a dog nor a cat..!
But this little fellow is a welcome visitor, captured with excellent textures in the fur and with good colours...
Composition is fine, and the monkey is cooperating in giving a very nice pose!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hey Sam,

Another excellent post. Great colors. Just the right softness for the monkey and enough details for the branch that she's laying her head on. Great background colors as well. Very dreamy image.
Thanks for sharing.

A beauty indeed, Sam ! What a magnificent capture of this beautiful creature.

Marleen

Hi Sam,

Well done:)
