Monkeys in Nepal

This image taken in Nepal. Many people who look at this picture think, “Oh, look, how cute, she’s smiling!”. Anyone with even a mild primate behavior background, however, will recognize the threatening signs of eye contact and showing teeth, especially when feeding their young. Anyone with a photographic background will recognize that this was taken with a wide angle lens, and therefore I had to be really close to take it. This is another one of those images that demonstrate just how stupid and ignorant the photographer really was.
