Howler Monkey, Costa Rica
7DmkII, 500mm + 1.4x, iso1600, 1/400 f/8  about 2/3 of the frame

No better alarm clock than a Howler Monkey barking right above your room at 4:15 AM!  This big male was looking up at a female with a baby in the next limb up in the Cecropia tree.  Just outside my room at the lodge.  Thank goodness for modern high-iso technology.

Lovely study of this handsome male Cindy! Nice detail in the dark fur, overhead highlights in the tree canopy well handled, and wonderful expression captured which makes a lot of sense after reading your background information. Love it!

Can hear him now.
Looks like you're having fun in CR.
Love the intense look and the detail in the fur, hands and tree.

I have tried to photograph these monkeys without success. Good for you for capturing this wonderful moment and image. I love the expression. Congrats on a well deserved EP!
