Yellow Baboon and Young

This was taken in Amboseli. This female was sitting on a wall of rocks at an abandoned lodge while others in the troop were foraging. The morning light was perfect and I loved how her eyes glowed.

Paul, Beautiful light and the mothers eyes are great! Lovely interaction!

[Dave Phillips]

really a beautiful image Paul......love the intimacy it holds.
Only as a suggestion, it looks like about 1.25º of cw rotation
puts them on a better balance. The natural lean will still be there.
And a bit more canvas to look into.

Not taking anything away......really like this one a lot.

Great use of light & composition Paul, well done!

Paul, stunning light, sharp and love the detail in this. Great image.

[DanWalters]

Great light and I really like the color of the eyes. The black background also gives it a more dramatic feel.
