Here’s one from Mexico. A black-handed spider monkey, or if you prefer, Geoffroy’s spider monkey. I was in the Punta Laguna Nature Reserve, not far from Tulum when I came across quite a few of these guys. They spend most of their time high up in the trees, so it can be difficult at times to photograph them, but I was able to get several shots both high in the trees, like this guy, and even down on the ground. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/4000th of a second

That guy has a determined look on his face. Great composition, Sean, that gives the viewer a glimpse into the monkey’s immediate surrounding environ.
Thanks Sue. Another place I’d like to return to sometime soon.
