Rhesus Macaque

[Rajbir Oberoi]

Observation is the key to make a photograph out of a moment. While, on a lookout for Orange Thrush in the temple vicinity of Bharatpur; day was nearing to an end. The Macaque meanwhile got hold of the log to lay its head for the night. Deep in sleep with recurring yawns; it was getting disturbed at regular intervals with the chirping, zooming past of birds & people passing by. The dreamy eyes, yawn & little anger over the face made for the photograph out of an ordinary moment.

Interesting. Liked the way it is lying on the bark. Quite sharp canines on both the upper and lower jaw. The composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

Sharp canines have come out well. More space at the bottom and left would have been better. At the moment the attention goes to the top dark portion. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
