Taken at the Brevard Zoo. This is difficult place for photographers because of the canopy of shade and dappled light. I was lucky to get such a strong facial expression with decent lighting.
Cropped, dodge and burn, sharpened, NN.

Barry looked up and let his thoughts wander off to that place that thoughts like to wander off to at times. That place that is like rush hour in a giant city. Zooming here and there, getting tied up at times, going down back alleys in an attempt to shave off some time, or simply being snarled in a jam. You never knew what you were going to get when you let your thoughts go to that place.
Today Barry's thoughts just led him home, or to what he wondered home would have been like, had he been allowed to remain there. He barely remembered it, but what he did made him realize that it had to be better than this. He sighed, and his thoughts came tumbling back to him, and he jumped down to a lower branch (that wasn't a real branch at all), and then wandered into his pen. He curled up on his blanket and sighed again.
Great dof/blur, you turned a really distracting background into a nice one. I like the monkey's expression, I think you could tell a story with this. The bit in the lower left corner is distracting for me.
