Default Monkey Business

This monkey was running around having a flower garland in his hand, scaring away all the pegions..
Would have come out better if the shutter speed was a lil faster but had i made any adjustments i would have lost the moment..

Hehe! Great capture! Sometimes we just have to make do with what we get - better to capture the fun moment than lose it trying to perfect settings. This is awesome!

I second SoxAddict, most important thing is to capture the moment, in photography it's hard to get the second chance.. This picture is stunning.. TFS

Monky causing problems! Stealing flowers and scaring birds!

Where was that taken? It looks like around Jaipur.

Thanks for sharing! It does tell a story.

A great, fun image. Those monkeys are little devils! You can tell we are closely related.

Cheers,

A combination of things...the monkey, the building, the background, just afeel of the place...and a bit of luck!

I once saw a troop of those monkeys try to get into a house, but the inhabitants had good shutters on the windows.
