Hi Federico!
Very interesting and attractive picture1
Sharp fg (where that nice monkey is), blurred bg, horizontal format, chosen pov, composition, colors and exposure are all excellent photo qualities that I really enjoyed!

hi Federico,

beautiful monkey and wonderfully sharp portrait of it.Look at the golden hair! Nice blurred view of Pushkar. I see you had water in the lakes. When I was there, all water was gone, anly some pools in the ghats were filled with water.

Hello Federico,
This is a nice kind of portrait. The slightly blurred view of the city makes a fine backdrop to the monkey which is seated on the triangle made by the rock.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Federico,
Excellent composition. I like how you've placed the monkey right in the corner of the frame and how he appears to be looking out over the city. The blurred BG cityscape makes the animal beautifully stand out. Well done.
Have a nice day.

Hi Federico
This macaque is common sight there and they are everywhere, even in city centres. Great composition and positioning in the frame with lovely details in his fur. The DoF is perfect to make him stand out from his surroundings yet keep the context of the environment. Lovely catch, Congrats
Best regards

Ciao Federico,
la scena e la tua foto sono davvero straordinarie, rare e tanto interessanti. E' ottima la distinzione del primo piano con la scimmia solitaria cosi nitida, ben posizionata e meditativa. La citta' distante intorno al lago offre superbo materiale per contemplare anche a noi. Mentre il primo piano e' effettivamente distaccato dallo sfondo, l' armonia cromatica unisce le due parti superbamente. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buona notte,
Ourania

Hi Federico!
This is one of the places where I'd like to return! I really like your idea, the composition is great with the focus on the monkey and the city and lake in the blurred background. Very well framed and very good light!
