I thought there would be a pile of these - but you are a lone entrant! Good capture - too bad the critter doesn't seem to have much interest in what's going on.

The trick with unusual viewpoint is to be able to see differently without dong contortions. I suspect this is an ordinary portrait view shot looking up at the facade of the building and then rotated through 90 deg. This just makes my head spin and me want to twist round to look at it. Thus a poor interpretation IMHO. However, it's a lovely subject and well taken. 5

Great picture. It is the quintessential monkey with the banana that I think of whenever I think of a banana. The crop is a bit tight but you might have needed that if there were other things in the frame.

Classic shot!! The banana stands out well. I would like to see a little different crop possibly, and in a perfect world, a bit sharper focus. Bot excellent shot and his expression is perfect.

great idea. I'm not sure how high the building is, but from this perspective, you could be 100 stories up. Excellent in my eyes

Sharper focus on the chimp's eyes would have raised this from a nice snap shot with an appealing subject to a dramatic portrait. The background is blurred but still a bit distracting because of the contrast of the blown out ground and the dark trees.
