Shy

Here's a juvenile Dusky Leaf Monkey from our Thailand trip last fall.  I used a fair bit of flash to counteract the dark conditions and bright sky filtering in from the canopy. 
Canon 1DX II, 500F4 1/125 F4.5, Av mode, evaluative metering -0.3, fill flash at -0.3, handheld

Nate, this guy looks more sleepy than shy. Well framed, nice to get the relaxed pose, and good use of flash.

You found a nice window into this guy Nate. Nice choice in increasing the flash, worked real well here. devil

This begs for some sort of clever caption...usable in many circumstances, I would think.
