Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)

Keoladeo Ghana National Park, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India

25 December 2005

This group of Rhesus Macaque was crossing our path while we were returning from an unsuccessful search for the Pythons. I saw this patch of light and waited for them to cross that point. When that big one waited at that exact point, I was thrilled and was about to press the shutter, and then this cute little fella appeared from nowhere, stood beside it and completed the picture. I was more than happy to shoot it.

I underexposed it by 1/2 a stop during post processing.
