Sometimes happy accidents happen. This was a photograph I took on a day trip to Gibraltar, which is most famous for the huge rock formation, but is also known for the monkeys populating the town. There are very people friendly, and don't really bother you, occasionally holding out their hand, looking for treats.
In this particular shot I was looking to capture one of the monkeys grooming another one. It was only back in the hotel, looking at the image on my computer did I notice the tiny eyes staring at me from the lower third if the image. I wish I could say it was on purpose, but it was nothing more than a happy accident. But now those eyes have become the star of this particular image.
People say luck is when preparation meets opportunity. In this case, not so. It was pure luck, but I am so glad it happened.
Shot with my iPhone camera by the way, no expensive DSLR used here.
