On the way from Manyara to the Serengeti we came across lots of baboons. These two didn't mind at all having their picture taken...

Love the sparkling eye of mother and candid expressions of young one!
IMHO Some more canvas on top & RHS would have helped the frame further.

Lovely pair and the thumb sucking posture of baby is endearing.  I, too, thought it would enhance to have some more room on top.

Ingrid: excellent caption and a fine photo that really evokes the feeling of being sheltered. Techs are spot on. Richard

@Jagdeep and Lon - I have looked at the photo again and again and really don't see how more of the mother's fur would have done anything but attract attention away from the youngster. I appreciate your comments as always but I have to say I think I have to disagree with you on this one. Thanks again and of course Richard too cool
