20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Proboscis Monkey in Borneo

I was on a trip to Borneo in the Sabah area. We spent some nights in Sepilok and then moved to Sukau. Wildlife viewing here was primarily on a flat-bottomed boat on the river, meaning I was hand-holding my camera. When the guide saw something interesting, the boat driver would slow and bring the boat as close to shore as possible. We saw a group of Proboscis Monkeys on shore. This one was by itself and not too far away, so I took the shot.
