We went on a river tour on vacation in Belize (the Lamanai tour, to those who are curious) and there were some very friendly (and very hungry) monkeys. This is a picture of me holding out a banana and somehow I managed to snap a picture before the monkey snatched it out of my hand.

:)  Well, these monkeys certainly weren't lazy.  They were showing off for all the tourists.

Everytime I see monkeys, I am reminded of Bruno Mars's The Lazy Song. :) LOL

Yeah, I know the angle should have been better, but I barely had time to turn on the camera, let alone take a picture before the monkey grabbed that banana.

I love this idea of this picture. The only suggestion I have is that the angle is such that you can't really see the monkey. But since you said you were in a rush to shoot the picture I guess that couldn't be avoided.
