I love everything about this photo! Wonderful composition ... the way you framed this shot perfectly showcases both the monkey and the beautiful wall texture, and also emphasizes that the monkey is hiding. Lovely light and details. Excellent work, Usman! #11448932

The combination here is unbeatable, Usman, with the little monkey perfectly and naturally framed in the opening and all the marks on the rough wall. Got to love those little hands and the direct look. #11570403
