Mmmmm, tasty!

The brilliant person who took this nice shot wrote some wonderful words , i quoted them below :
"so, after 1 hour of heavy rain pouring down on sacred monkey forest sanctuary in ubud, nothing was dry. the forest was just dim and almost frightfully tree-ish. overlooking it without knowing about its habitants, you can't imagine animals living in this place at all, or staying for long… food left by tourists was so precious that a group of long-tailed macaques *macaca fascicularis* paid no attention to me sitting quietly nearby when they sneaked down to a bunch of leftover bananas on the forest floor. here, it was necessary to use flash lighting because the tree-ish forest was as dark as at sunset time.an annoying element of flash photography of animal faces is that sometimes you see a double catchlight in the eyes, which is the reflection of the double flash units. it looks unnatural but here i’ve minimized the reflection by using ring-type lighting with a total of four SB R200 units attached to the attachment Ring SX-1. my local assistant was holding it nearby the macaque and i had the wireless speedlighting commander SU800 attached to my camera.
