Photo taken near the India Gate, in New Delhi (India), during a business trip. I think the eyes of the little boy represent well the surprise.

Bad Points: image format is too long for my taste -not sure about the suprise - he doesn't look suprised
Good Points: as a reportage shot, this is tops. A great effort. But for the suprise...mm?
Overall Score: 4

The look in the boy's eyes is quite something. Sadly, it's more a look of longing than surprise. Touching photo, but wrong challenge.

A nice candid capture. I am not sure about the surprise part though. more a photojournalism kind of shot. would have liked to have seen the whole monkey. good luck:)

I've heard that there have been problems with bad monkeys in South East Asia. Is that because they don't spank them enough?

I don't really understand how this relates to the challenge. The photo itself is a little poignant, maybe more so with some context, but it seems mostly a snapshot.

Not quite sure how this meets the challenge, the boy looks neither excited or surprised, more of a "poor sad me, help me" look, now if the monkey had turned on you and started coming at you...........

The shot is a bit dark in the upper left and the title says monkeys but I only see one, though I'm sure the other rope leads to another. A 5

Interesting the Hawaiian t-shirt on a street boy in India. He looks more tired than surprised. The monkey seems to be controlling him and not the other way around. An interesting photo that captures the moment.
