We followed this group of Crested Macaque together with a small research team back in March. Over the course of a few days, my group got to know them quite well. We tracked with them through the forest while they forage for food and socialising. It was a real privilege. This was the dominant male and I managed to get close when he was relaxed getting groomed. I look forward to seeing them again in 2016.

Shot wide at 28mm with a Nikon D750, full frame, ISO 400, 1/40th, f4.
Regards,

Des

Great body language - don't you just know he's the boss! and nice interaction with the classic grooming behaviour Des. We haven't had many images from Indonesia, so this is interesting to see, as well as being a fine shot.
