What kind of animal is this ? My inquiring mind wants to know. If this is not a manipulated photograph, I am absolutely amazed and awed by the human look on this animal's face.
this is a beautiful shot! i love the way the sunbeam creates shadow and light on the monkey's face and the leaves behind... and the smile... i guess with an "infant" (i assume the circular hairy thing is a baby monkey's head) would surely bring that monalisa smile on anyone's face --- human or animal :)
Dear All, Thanks a lot for dropping by and commenting.
I am sorry I respect the wordlessness of the Wednesday a lot. That is why you didn't hear any replies from me yesterday.
As some of you have guessed, this image has been manipulated!
I pasted this Sri Lankan boy's smile and eyes to this Turfted Grey Langur aka Hanuman Langur Semnopithecus priam, which as you can see looks as tight-lipped as a White House Spokesperson.
Btw, whats with you guys? Is there like a thread going on? I've been to quite a number of blogs that have this wordless wednesday thing =)Just curious....
Hi Stanley, Wordless Wednesday is a weekly blog carnival that you can participate by visiting the WW HQ (click on the logo above) and confirming your participation.
Thereafter, you can visit the participants and comment if you wish. It is that simple.
Participants are usually expected to be wordless in post they are sharing for WW. However, majority of them blatantly violate this!!
I respect the wordless-ness of the day so seriously that as of late I even skip replying to comments on Wednesdays!!
Hi Verdonda, I am not surprised you had such mixed feelings after seeing this! It is a bit creepy, I know. Thanks for dropping by!
Hi Ocean, Great to have you back! This was created a long time ago when I was learning photoshop basics. I look forward to seeing your pics from your holiday.
Hi Sara, Thanks! Glad you liked the pic with and without the smiles! Photoshop is simply amazing - I too agree.

What kind of animal is this ? My inquiring mind wants to know. If this is not a manipulated photograph, I am absolutely amazed and awed by the human look on this animal's face.
It's like deja vu...:) Beautiful shot!
Have a great day!!
What a nice smile! Happy WW! :)
Of course it's been manipulated, isn't it? Great shot... i've been to Sri Lanka in 2001 and I have to say I loved it there!
Great shot! How long have you waited for it to smile?
How funny...it looks like he is smiling for the camera. Great shot. Happy WW and thanks for stopping:)
Ha ha!..Nice lips! ;-)
I don't believe! (@_@)
Do they really smile that way?!
I love the ruff of white hair around the face -- like a picture frame. Happy WW.
Bobbie
That is an amazing face, if it is real.
I'm inclined to believe that they have very human expressions, like this.
Definitely brought a smile to my face. So innocent. Carefree.
Happy WW!
oeps.....he smile to me :D

Your blog is fantastic!!
Mountain Retreat Photos
If the human element has been 'Shopped in it's a phenomenal job. If it hasn't that's a disturbingly human-looking primate.
Either way, it's a phenomenal photo.
Oh, that's a scream! hahaha!
What a great smile!
Nice monkey :)
What a beautiful smile. Great shot.
Cool.
That's pretty damn funny! Cool.
Beautiful, yet a bit creepy in a way.
I found way to your blog thru Tabib's. Simply amazing stuff you have here...and this particular pic greeted me with warm welcoming smile..Love it!
What a great smile!! Beautiful photograph! Thanks for stopping by.
Hehe I am guessing that monkey is 5 or 6 years old in human years.
Great smile!
this is a beautiful shot! i love the way the sunbeam creates shadow and light on the monkey's face and the leaves behind... and the smile... i guess with an "infant" (i assume the circular hairy thing is a baby monkey's head) would surely bring that monalisa smile on anyone's face --- human or animal :)
He looks very happy that way.
Looks as thoughts its thinking Happy WW ;)- pretty trippy!
What a happy smile. And a look into the those eyes - it is like looking into the eyes of a man.
