EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, a Hong Kong Ocean Park worker strikes a pose with an adorable pygmy marmoset, the world's smallest monkey. Captured against a black background, the image beautifully showcases the contrast between the tiny mammal and its human companion. The photograph was taken in Hong Kong, China on February 2nd, 2016, just days before the Chinese New Year of the Monkey. The unrecognizable worker gently cradles the pygmy marmoset in their hand as they both look directly at the camera. The cute creature sits comfortably on their palm, showcasing its exquisite fur and captivating features. This creative use of light and shadow adds depth to the picture while highlighting every detail of this remarkable animal. With its small body and expressive eyes, it's hard not to be captivated by this record-breaking primate. As we marvel at nature's wonders through Bobby Yip's lens, we are reminded of our connection to wildlife and our responsibility to protect these precious creatures. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in bustling cities like Hong Kong, there is still room for harmony between humans and animals. It captures a moment where two different species come together in mutual respect and curiosity—a testament to our shared existence on this planet.
