2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Monkey, Arashiyama Monkey Park, Japan
Lost in Your Eyes

Species: Monkey | Location: Arashiyama Monkey Park, Japan

By Rose Valdez

This monkey walked by me like he was indifferent to my presence. This is what allowed me to capture his noble gaze and strength. Every time I look at it, I get lost in his eyes and wonder what he's seen and experienced. I am mesmerized.

About The Photographer

Cropped dsc 0169
Photography is a hobby for me. Although I've taken a few classes, nothing ever seems to stick so I've learned by trial and error. I enjoy taking lots of photos on our vacations, particularly of wildlife, if there's any around. Really, I'm just an average person trying to capture the moment and beauty around me.
