Greetings from the Critique Club!
What the animals see. Interesting perspective. You're right about the girl though, she's thinking what a cool monkey and what silly parents I have, while the monkey is thinking, "What is wrong with these people?" LOL!
This is a very nice snapshot type picture to me. Captures a moment of the family, teaching their child and a great capture of a moment in time.
What I see is lots of bamboo and rocks and not a lot of people per say. There are many distractions in this shot and they all take away from the main subject. Possibly a different crop would really help bring the people to the center of attention but not necessarily the center of the shot. I like the fact they are just off to the side a bit but there is too much on the left trying to take my attention away from them. Using my magic envelopes and cropping this in a bit tighter, come in on the left to the edge of the rock, taking out the distracting stick in the lower left corner, come in on the right to the mom's shoulder, taking out most of the coat and light colored bamboo on the right and come in from the bottom to the bottom rail, taking out most of the rock and it really brings out the subject and still leaves enough enviorment for the viewer to know where the subject is.
The colors are good, lack any real pop value, perhaps a slight tweek in the levels to make them stand out a bit more or curves?
Again, lovely overall shot, hope my comments help!
