(flash technique: "strobe on a rope" + abbc)
updated - This was shot inside. The ones that are outside are Golden Lion Tamarins, this is a Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin...

Fantastic portrait. You captured this remarkably well. I was going to invite this to a group, but I think everyone else has beat me to just about every group I know ;) For good reason.
