Gray Langur at Rest

Photograph by Hemin Patel, National Geographic Your Shot

“I was in my college parking lot, and this monkey appeared on this tree in front of me,” writes Hemin Patel, a member of our Your Shot community who captured this photo in Anand, Gujarat, India. “The sunlight was coming through when I saw it. It was wonderful.”

4. Good morning mnhtnbb

Love the color through the trees with the light and the shade of the dark with the monkey front and center.

Click at the right time and being at the right place made a wonderful shot, indeed!

(See Alfredo, I did learn something.)

I would not have attempted that photo in the past with the sun right there, but I can see that it can make a beautiful shot.
