Love the interaction here, Jeff, and the look the guy on the bottom is giving you. Nice one.

Great image, Jeff. I'm always impressed with your "close up and personal" images.

Looks like a relaxing spa treatment! Delightful capture of the behavior, the eye contact brings you right in to the image, and the concentration on the part of the groomer shows you how relaxed they are. In this presentation some of the black fur is completely blocked up, I might try to recover a bit more detail.

Excellent Jeff, the interaction is brilliant. My 2015 trip to Costa Rica I missed the shot because I did not keep my camera in a sealed plastic bag when on the air conditioned bus. Within minutes of getting off the bus my lens steamed up, lesson learnt and you don't make that mistake twice.

Thanks again Cindy, this photo as taken in the middle of the rain forest at a National Park where flash is not a allowed and I don't like to push my ISO to avoid the noise. I think that is the best I can do for this image. Have a great weekend!!!

Mutual grooming is such an important part of the primate behaviour and this is a superb capture of the interaction Jeff.  I love the concentration on the face of the 'groomer' , while the expression on the face of the recipient is just wonderful. A masterpiece in animal behaviour my friend, and I truly love it!
