A troop of baboons was foraging in the camp after lunch when no one was around but me.

Nice clear shot Loi. Suitable crop too. Well done!
Hi Loi , looks good to me.
Would slightly open up the face area.

Hi Loi, nicely timed, good capture. Not sure, but try dropping the blue and mask over the black skin of the face? Just a thought, but dropping the exp a fraction for the environment (mask the subject) may also help to create a little bit more depth, WDYT?

Hi Loi - nice one! Techs and sharpness look good. Interesting pose, well timed. Good suggestions above for taking an already excellent image up a notch.

Hi Loi,
I am viewing this image with much interest this evening, since I am busy processing an image of a Baboon as well. Interesting behaviour shot of this chap foraging and I like the expression you have captured. Nice and sharp and the crop is great, a tad dark on the chin though. The teeth look a bit unnatural to me, almost as if they have been dodged and now there is a little too much black in-between (not sure if I made myself understood?) This gives the baboon a very mean look, which in a way I like, but I just feel the teeth are too separated by the black gums? Oh well, I am just nit-picking, but if you can open up the mouth area a little it would be great
Kind regards, have a wonderful week-end,

Thank you everyone for your comments. In New York City now spending time with the family, bad weather, so no photography, will look at this image when I get back. Gabriela, the teeth we're all natural, haven't done anything there. Loi
Hi Loi, drop Rachel a PM.

Yes, of course. We were going to meet at the Bronx zoo, but the weather is not cooperating, so it got canceled :(
Thank you Loi, in this case this is one mean looking fella and I like him even more!
Sorry about you having to cancel the trip to the Bronx Zoo, hope the weather improves, have a great time with your dear ones!
Kind regards,
Gabriela Plesea
Very nice timing Loi. I agree with Steve that the bg looks a bit thin so would look at masking and darkening a little.

Love the angle and pose/expression here Loi!
