    Great to have caught this monkey balanced on the wire--that's not a very friendly look on its face! ;-)

    Oh my goodness Terry, this is fabulous! Tack sharp on the monkey, and that beautiful bokeh in the background. I love this! We saw some of these monkeys in Nicaragua several years ago. Super shot!!
