We found these Vervet Monkeys in Semliki Game Reserve, Uganda fairly late in the afternoon on a rather dull day.

Maybe a "dull day" but not a dull image. Very nice.

The babies make this special. The babies are both staring at you. Did you have an ice cream cone in your hand? (smile) The techs look spot on. Well done.

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated

Jerry,
I wish I did have some ice cream, it was unbearably hot in Uganda

Ken, you did a nice job of family portrait, succeeding without cutting a draping tail. In fact, tail+reed stem top right make for a compositional line that adds to the image. I think the contrasting direction of the gazes, especially with the intensity of the little ones on our right really help, too.
