Young Baboons are always fun to watch and in spite of their constant movement, it is sometimes possible to catch something silly.

:cool: Really cool shot Ken. A bit tight on top, but that is really minor with an engaging image like this. :toast:

Lots of "tension" in this photo Ken. Nicely exposed under tricky circumstances. :toast:

Very well captured. That little leaf adds a dash of color to the image making it even more special.

Very playful image, made me smile! May prefer a tad more room at the top.

Great pose, Ken. I think the side lighting is really effective here. A little tight at the top and bottom, IMO, but otherwise you nailed a really fun shot.
