Greetings from the Critique Club ShutterPug!
First off let me say that I find your title and image hilarious (hope that's what you were going for) but also might have been better received in the "Clichés and Sayings" challenge.
Nice capture. Great subject matter and focus. I do believe there might be a couple of different ways to crop this:
1. A tighter crop all around, taking the trees on the left completely out of the image. As it is, my eye is drawn away from the subject to the out of focus foliage and especially the rock.
2. An off centered crop taking the vertical part of the rock out with the animals in the right third would lead you right to them.
I also think you would've placed higher if nature had cooperated. The way these two "lovers" happen to be lit and placed makes it seem like there is only one monkey but with two torsos and heads - a bit flat. You also might consider applying some unsharp mask to the animals alone to bring out some fur detail. Just lacks the elusive "pop" that the voters look for but overall I think it's a great effort and subject.
Thank you for allowing me to critique your image ShutterPug.
Cheers - Phil |

| because of lighting there is a point here where the two forms merge and no further detail is available, however, the general result is funny. 7 |

| I think this would be a much stronger image if the left third and right third were cropped to make it a vertical image. That would get rid of the tree and most of the rock and focus the viewers attention on the monkeys. Great timing! |
