Another shot from our visit to Simien Maountains National Park, Ethiopia.
I am still amazed by how "tame" these animals are.

Nice shot Ken! I'm always amazed about how neatly arranged their fur is. Do they have hair-dressers up there? I like the expression and green background.Very nice light also.

Cheers,

Hisham.

Beautiful! Big contrast with the surrounding green so it really pops out - I also love the rolling terrain in the background that adds to the 3-D feel

Neat subject, fine techs. I like the separation from background. Ideally, only thing I see is viewing perspective is looking slightly down on the baboon instead of eye level or lower.
