Yawning Baboon taken at Knowsley Safari Park in the UK, this past weekend. I didn't get close enough to check out the bad breath ;)

Hi Matt,
the composition is a bit tight, otherwise a cool image

I like the tight crop of the comp, although just a tad bit more headroom would balance it out a bit.

Otherwise, excellent timing in capturing a great moment. He was yawning I take it?

You can really see this guy needs to brush his teeth. Gingivitis is the #1 reason of tooth decay.

Excellent!! Maybe he's not really yawning, but imitating Pavaratti! An opera singer in need of a good dental cleaning..ROFL. Great detail and excellent DOF!
