Hi Ken,
That is one ferocious monkey. Technically speaking, I think that you handled the scene quite well. The art of surviving in the wild depends on how well you can bluff. And you captured this monkey bluffing and hoping that all you are getting out of this is a photo...............Jim

Fine technically, as usual. In terms of composition, just some thoughts. The overall shape is a nice classical form, with the body a solid triangle. I think it would have been nice to move him slightly in the frame to further enhance triangular forms by positioning subject so the backline would be directed to the lower left corner...
