Stuck this one in at the last minute, not sure if I'm going to regret it or not, but this guys expression was just classic.

NO! The freakin' fur is not over-processed!!!! Arg, I had to wait 2 weeks to say that and it was soooo frustrating.
Th primate's fur was naturally like that...kind of crimped. I thought people would appreciate the texture, but I guess it might look a little off to an outsider. Although I still love the fact that he's flipping me off and kinda "hanging out" at the same time :)
I really shouldn't have entered this at all...I should have listened to my insticts, but I made the stupid decision of asking others for advice and overthinking it. Be simple-minded people! That's the moral of the story.
This is what I was going to enter, but because of my momentary lapse of sanity, I pulled it out at the last second : (

A terrific pose. Funny how he is giving you the bird. Colors are superb. The texture seems a little strange, maybe over-sharpened or missed focus? Still a great photo.
