Oscar Stone, The Peering Monkey (JUNIOR 2024)

A group of three Macaques in the Ubud Monkey Forest, Bali. Upon the centre the young Macaque. The 'Hero Shot' illustrates the Macaque's curiosity as seen in the eye. The Macaque peered out despite the masses of tourists, snapping and pointing. Nikon d3400, using my Nikon AF-P DX 70-300mm telephoto lens, with an ISO of 400, Aperture of f5.3 and Shutter speed of 1/50. This photo was edited using Adobe Lightroom. The editing was very minor as the highlights were made sharper.
