[Leica] Primate Exhibit

[Sonny Carter]

That elevates it over a sunset, where as my friend Lyle Bonge used to say, "God did a nice job on that shot."

My comment reflects that even the composition is controlled by the exhibit designer, as you can look at it with limited access points; only where he wants you to look.  

By the way, it helped the image to keep the skylight in frame.

I still like it even after you divulged the setup; I thought it was lucky timing on the flash.  I'll have to remember that flashlight trick.  ;-)
