Nice image. The fur is well exposed and the eyes look sharp. Seems its been suffering from a tumour... I would include some more space on top.

Bibhav,

The swelling is a cheek pouch which the macaque uses to store food. Also heard that primary digesition takes place in this pouch.

Nice image. It is sharp. Less space on the left would be better in my opinion. The macaque has stored some thing in its mouth. Was it taken within the campus?

Cheers,
