Wonderful shot, the framing makes the shot. Good job on the exposure too.

Excellent detail. It would also work well with a crop from the right. Just beautiful!

Very good capture. The warm colors of the face work great against the otherwise colder tones.

This is a precious photo Xavier. There is such a feeling of peacefulness. Great job!

Xavier,
nice study, very well done from technical point of view. You may crop a bit from the right. I think that that would emphasize the pose of the baby better.

Hi Xavier,
Wonderful shot! Doesn't that little guy have an amazingly large ear! About the ONLY way I can think of to improve the image (and this is PURELY subjective and relates to my personal preference), is that I think I'd prefer it even more if the young chimp was positioned slightly more to the right of the frame (and not quite so dead centre). But this is a trivial point...great image...
Cheers...
Brad

Huge, huge cuteness factor, here, Xavier! What a lovely and loving moment. The little one looks so relaxed and sound asleep. And the embrace of its mother... You have created an icon image! Congratulations for the Pick!

This is divine. It's so tender it makes me really empathize with the subject. Beautiful!

This is my favorite so far! I love the intimacy that you managed to capture here.
