Another endearing little monkey. the conservation efforts are going well, and some groups have left the strict boundaries of the main Biological Reserve, where non-scientists are not allowed to establish territories in nearby patches of forest. All are private land, so you need permission, but otherwise, not so difficult to locate as they are quite ebullient and noisy early in the morning.
Very friendly and curious. A joy to watch them.

They are very photogenic little monkeys, what a shame the light was so difficult to work with.

I really enjoy seeing these different little monkeys. Must be a lot of fun to watch and photograph. For this image, I'd suggest cropping the left side with the blown highlights, leaving a somewhat square frame. Even though the light probably was quite green in the canopy, I'd also at least try a version where that color cast is corrected out or desaturated. Then your attention would go more easily right to that little face and his expression.
