I have been scared of toy monkeys ever since I saw this commercial when I was a kid in which a toy monkey with a set of cymbals is clapping away, and suddenly it turns into a real monkey that screams and leaps at the camera with its teeth barred. Scared the bejabers out of me. It was supposed to be an example of an LSD trip gone bad.
This picture brought all that back.

Oh this monkey is fun! :D

CaptPiper: uh oh, I know what you mean. I had similar feelings about dark rooms, after seing Roman Polanski's "The Fearless Vampire Killers" at the age of six. You know that movie? It's some kind of funny slapstick vampire movie.. but not for a six year old. .)

The photo is FUN! :)
Shame for the cymbals on middle bottom... If you had cut them out...
Anyway, again.. REAL FUN! :)

This is very quirky and looks like something you'd see on an album cover.

Well executed and wholly original.

I'd crop in and take out the symbols. The angle catches the expression perfectly, and the colors are great.

Definitely a psychedelic element here (for me atleat), i think on a technical level plenty works 0 colours, texture of the little monkey and the aperture. The subject itself does not really move me although does make me smile.

Funny shot. A little disturbed by the shadow in the background. I would suggest to do some cropand get a tighter frame to exaggerate the facial expression.

The monkey is cute, and nice colors. The background adds little, maybe a tighter crop would deemphasize that. The tip of his hand and the cymbals are a little distracting. A little more detail on his ears would also help.

Love the subject. Agree with comment above about needing all the cymbals in there to complete the creepiness of it. Is it maybe a little overexosed? The teeth look a little washed out on my monitor.

I like the shot and the DOF, but I would try another one with a background that is either uniform or in a differen colour so as to really draw out the details and the line of the monkey.

FYI 100 Points people, we're really at #9 now due to the double #7's that confused things; i.e., the next one will be #10.

Original, creative and it transmits a feling all right (I find it quite scary!)

The composition and DOF work perfectly for me and so does the background. Good (monkey!) shoot!

Thanks everyone for the criticisms. I might try to reshoot this with some of your ideas if I can catch him again.
