London Zoo tropical house - what a great location. No barriers between the visitors and the subjects.
London GTG X, so there maybe another one out there of these guys!
70-200 and 2x converter, shot handheld at 400mm. Full frame, save for a bit of cropping on the sides to take full advantage of 640px (why not 720 this month???).
Processed in Lightroom to add local contrast and get more contrast without losing the highlights. Export to Photoshop, where I made a light dodge to the iris of the monkey's eyes and added the vignette. Resized and sharpened through various sharpening settings.

Great image! I love the color contrast of their fur against the tree. Not to mention the crisp expression on the fourground animal. Good luck in the challenge. 10
