We came across this baboon family one early misty morning in Kruger National Park. Looks like mother is laying out the laws and dad not interested at all.... This image won me 2nd prize in a local newspaper competition last year.

Hendri -great image of a family grouping. Getting baboons standing still is often difficult. Well done.

This is a super portrait! All those red eyes peering intently into the camera. :cheers: This rates a solid A. If Papa's eyes were visible, it would get an A+. Well-done!!

Great troop shot Hendri, not often photographed, or indeed, get a chance to do so. Can't help but feel intimidated by those eyes. A nice image to view. :cheers::cheers:
