Congratulations on your win! This is just an amazing photograph the color and the light and reflection are all very beautiful. I have never seen a photograph of the snow monkey quite like this one. And you were right it is the wet monkey the water that sets it apart. Great job

Thanks for your LIKE on Deep in thought. Jigokudani is quite a little trek along those narrow paths. I took a photo at 1.5m from an adult here once. The splashes from body and hand, the serious face, the depth of field, the pose. A real atmospheric shot. A little thing - Nagano is in Honshu not Hokkaido. A nature mag front cover if I ever saw one.
