    Default Take me home with you! (Cuteness Alert)

    Tomorrow morning at 5AM I'll be taking my wife to the hospital, and we will start the process of welcoming our daughter into this world.

    I thought this cute little Chacma Baboon would be apt to share with you on the eve of this life-changing event.

    Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers...I'll be sure to pose some very cute HUMAN baby photos in the Family forum soon!

    This photo was taken in the Kruger National Park.

    Morkel - He's a cutie but hopefully your new addition doesn't look anything like him. Best of luck on a smooth delivery.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Morkel, my thoughts and best wishes are with you and your wife and your baby. I hope you are all home soon, safe and well and healthy.

    Your baby may look a little like this monkey for a very short while but no doubt will be just as cute! (only going on my babies and most others that I know .... )

    Morkel,

    Since the baby is looking right at you, I would suggested a vertical presentation w/o all the room left and right.

    I feel a bit more sharpening is needed as well.

    Won't touch the composition. I feel the placement in the frame works really well and gives a sense of context rather than just a tight portrait.
