It´s a nice image, but the thing i´m noticing is the camera shake around the eyes. The reason is, looking at the exif you are shooting at only 1/50 sec when your focal length is 250mm. To get sharpness you should be shooting at least 1/250 and preferably 1/300 to 1/400 with this telephoto on the long end. Was ´IS´ engaged for the shot, the lens should have 4 stops of usable image stabilization..

yep i know the image is not so sharp unfortunately! all these monkeys were moving very fast and it was very difficult to shoot and get a nice expression as well! This was like a jungle just for monkeys in Africa! i tried to sharpin it up in lightroom but this is the best i could do.

I'm digging the composition, however as already pointed out your 1/50 shutter speed was a tad slow.  Perhaps next time jump your ISO up.   Animals are so much fun to photograph, their personalities can shine.  And you did a great job capturing that personality here.  :)
