you went to a lot of work for this one. Good job of focus, and I know that was hard. The shadows are hurting you a little and the wash out at the top of the blue background is distracting, it's got part of his hands. Cute monkey and cute photo. I like it and give it a 7. PTL
Nice colours, nice poses. The only distracting element is the shadow (especially on the white background), although you still get a good score from me.
