Really like the composition, a little more of their face might have been better but not a big deal. Or crop more on the right and top to make the more hilighted on the focus. I enjoyed the sun shining through the hair, gave it a sleepy glowy sunny feel. The focus looks to be on the back of the center one and makes the one on the left more noticibly out of focus. The crop I mentioned above might lessen this look.

great subject. If you could have put a little fill flash on the faces this would be a really nice shot. The hot spots on their backs are a little distracting, but not overwhelming.

By far my favourite from this challenge.. a beautiful moment and capture!! The detail of the fur, the sleeping expression, and the warmth of the sun on their backs all works for me.. wonderful..thank you.

I really like the composition. I think it would have more impact if the faces were a little lighter, and easier to see.

AWWW. I wish the lighting were on their faces. They are hard to distinguish.

If there were a little more detail in the shadow I think this pic would jump.

Given the spirit of the challenge was to capture a shot of wildlife in its natural environment, I find it most difficult to believe that this was done with your entry. Needless to say my vote on this was very low given those circumstances. When a photo does not do its best in composition to depict actual challenge guidelines, my stadegy for voting immediately stops and it becomes a DNMC to me.

imo...more detail on the faces of the facing two monkeys would have made this pic score higher in this challenge
