- Reason
- High EV. We observed the adults in a family of proboscis monkeys jumping between these two trees. They went round and round, repeating the jump. Over a period of 15 minutes, the adults encouraged the youngsters to make the jump. This young male was one of the last to commit. Very positive voting for Commons FP. Image voted into second round of Commons Picture of the Year.

- Weak oppose – Nicely done, but I think most readers would think it showed three monkeys, not the same one. Sca (talk) 20:10, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
