Default Yawning Monkey

Hi,

Took this photo on my travels to India. It was a "right time right place" kind of photo and I am quite proud of it. I've done some post processing to spruce it up a bit.

I'd love to hear your comments.

Nice. i'd say play with the color a bit, maybe add some saturation or contrast.. pop up the monkey a little.. it does look a bit dull because of the colors.

I think you need to play a little more with it I think it is a bit dark and there is little contrast between the tree and the monkey. I also think if you cropped it close on the monkey the backgroud would help you acheive a more popping visual.
