I know you were fighting back lighting, but is it possible to pull the deep shadows with the monkeys? Think it would be more interesting to see some expression on that main monkey on the lower left.

Thanks for the feedback! I actually brought down the shadows and reworked the lighted areas thinking that would add to the photo but maybe that's not working. My main concern was the composition, the processing and if subject matter as shown was interesting.

It's just that I know those monkeys can be very expressive, so my eye is left wondering what are they like at that moment. Of course my 2 cents Canon 5D mk IV

Lifted shadows slightly and exposed all at bottom left. Problem with lifting any more is that subjects at the bottom are out of focus and it's not working any more than this

Thanks. Here is the modified version. Cloned out the string of flag on the upper subject and lifted shadows.   Enlightenment by leftaway, on Flickr
