This was taken on my trip to Botswana with Chas near the Chobe River. I'd welcome your feedback.

I love the perfect outline of the rim light. I may be tempted to get the Baboon's body a little darker for a more dramatic image. Way to go!

beautiful image Steve......I like the bit of detail in the baboon's body, but might opt for a darker more spacious bg

Very well seen Steve! I love backlit photographs like this, and the fur of the baboon really helped making this a special photograph. I really like the pose and rimlighting....nice!

The rim light, fur details under the light as mentioned, way to go. A different look here and it shows. Well done.

Really like the rimlighting. Nice action and frameing. Overall it just seems a bit dark to me..
