Marc,

This is totally unfair!

I can only imagine what you may have got with a good guide!

Marc, great timing for the leap, and if Im not mistaken, these are females. Your previous one was darker, and he was the male. Im jealous too. Well captured.

Thanks Stuart, our expert guide had informed me they were male? I'll amend.

How about removing the lump of earth (?) in the background just in front of the heads?

That lump of earth is actually a baboon, I have some nice images of their hilarious attempts at crossing also.:)
