Curious baby...

This baby Tufted Gray Langur was so curious to see what I was doing! It is still so young that it hasn't the tuft on his head yet and its fur is still very dark instead of light gray. These big group of Langurs were roaming the garden of our hotel and eating the lotus leaves. They gave me all the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos.

PS there is a beautiful moth sitting on the rock below the little monkey.

Major cuteness factor, Ellen. Great perspective/expression. The small moth is a nice touch.

Super cute subject and the pose with one hand reaching forward and the other grasping mom's arm is endearing. The moth is too cool, the icing on the cake Ellen. Oh, didn't mention the adorable expression - my, my!

Fantastic!

What a cutie! The moth is a real bonus as well. The only nit to me is the bright patch in teh Bg right of the baby, but with a captivating image like this an issue like that becomes very minor.

Love the baby's cute looks, and the way it is trying to be bold and explore its world, yet not bold enough to let go of mom!

Not sure it gets much cuter than this Ellen. Love the look and how he seems to be holding himself up by grabbing the wall and mom. He really does look very curious....maybe name him George.
