Whenevr I see a langur, a feeling of melancholy takes over my thoughts. Probably it is the dull shades of grey and the pattern of how the mouth is shaped responsible for this!

f6.3, 1/100sec, ISO 800, EV +0.3, 330mm, eval metering, full-frame, untouched except for saturation and sharpness

Good job with the exposure. Nice eye contact. A higher SS would have been good, but you were already at ISO 800. Personally, I would have zoomed all the way out to include the tail, but I suppose you wanted a closeup to show the facial expressions.
Strange thought about the melancholy feeling... maybe you are comparing them to the much, much bolder macaques? (Unfair :D)

I agree with the composition. Am wondering why the background below the langur looks brighter than the top portion?

No idea really. May be a difference in the color of leaves? Something to do with metering? I hadn't observed the surrounding while making the picture:(

Nice pose and eye contact. The details and the expressions add to the image. What is the hint of leaf on the right just above the branches. Thanks for sharing.
