This is amazing. And on your honeymoon? Wow, talk about making something brilliant while REALLY preoccupied...
The Monkey i feel is expressing a mix of hope, and yet sadness at the same time, the resolution, or the dream. But, then again, this is viewing it from a human perspective, which means it could be something else, something we can not comprehend, only the monkey can.

i like how the little guy looks both young and naive and old and wise at the same time.

I love it. It's almost religious, as if the monkey's found God.

You are kidding.....what an incredible photo op.
You must be thanking your telephoto....
this picture is beautiful. The focus is right on, and what a fleeting moment you have capture here.
The monkey looks like an ancient monk of sorts, almost contemplative....
I need to +fav this
and I don't do that a lot..
please check out my gallery sometime,
nice job again!

I am absolutely in love with that shot. I'm extremely involved with trying to be able to help out animals from the rainforests and I think you captured the, well, HOPE, that the animals have we will help them.

I don't know how you got so close to this gorgeous creature, or how you managed to pull off such fine composition, with perfect lighting, but three cheers for you.
It speaks volumes.

Love the comment about being a self portrait... 
The expression you caught is perfect for your title. That look of searching, peering up in hopes of finding something better, or perhaps answers to some unknown questions...
Very nice.

dA viewers: Oh wow, what a profound, meaningful photo! What amazing things could he be thinking? Such depth!
Monkey: Oh man, is that bird gonna crap on me? Oh- oh jeez I think it's gonna crap on me.
Ha ha silly jokes aside, it's a beautiful photo, and I definitely think it to be profound. Excellent capture!

I look at this photograph and hear the lyrics to I Believe I Can Fly by R Kelly. Nice work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well perhaps you're right... R Kelly could be considered a base primate, but then again, primates aren't pedophilic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. Maybe R. Kelly was the first of his kind. You know, an inovator.

Maybe he's hoping for that hot monkey chick up in that tree to notice him...?
Or not.
But great picture, the clarity of the monkeh and the blurry background is great.
