The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
There were many Vervets at one of our lodges, all begging to be fed. Prohibited, but the Touristas fed them anyway. This pair had a very young baby scampering around, but he never got very close to the parents. He was too busy licking the Dairy Queen cup he found. (A sad image of that later on)

Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Nice shot Sandy. On my monitor I see a blue spot on the back leg of the monkey on the right. Can that be changed to match surrounding colors? That’s the only thing I have. I would like to see another close up shot of their faces.
Skip, the genitals of many monkeys are very bright colours, to assert dominance and create sexual attraction. I considerably lightened that “blue spot” here,
as another site (ridiculously) deemed it X-rated. Other areas back there are a very bright red.
I’ll post a close-up of those marvelous faces and eyes a bit later.
Sandy: I like the soft, uniform light that you’ve captured on the vervets. Both of the animals are looking right at you and are in good poses. I have no problem with any of their coloration. My only suggestion would be to burn the background a bit.
