I spotted this female red howler monkey in a clearing in the forest in Madidi National Park in the Bolivian Amazon. Howler monkeys are renown for their loud calls, which can be heard up to three miles away. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/50th of a second
That is one awesome shot, Sean! Rick Derevan is right in his analysis. The framing on the monkey couldn’t be better!
PS: not sure if it is just me, but the image failed to enlarge when I clicked on it. My computer system’s zoom worked, but it only enlarges so far. Nevertheless, the photo is so good, the message came through like a Howler Monkey!

To me this is a very emotional photo, with the look on its face contemplating its world.
Thanks Rick. I love the primates.

Thanks for the heads up Sue. Sometimes the images post without the ability to enlarge. Should be good now.
Working now, Sean – thanks! The image is even better bigger.
Very touching. She is so beautiful.

Contemplating. Not howling.
Super beautiful shot Sean! Love her pose too with the tail curled around. Very very nice!!!
Thanks Amanda. I just had a quick glimpse as we floated by on a canoe.
