Baboon with child

[MattEg]

Taken at the zoo.

I've had to blur the background a bit to get rid of the fence, even with a low DoF it was still visable.
Used the 'Dodge tool' to bring back the babies eye.
I don't understand why zoo's don't use black fencing, its so much easier to hide when you have to shoot through or against it.

As I sit here looking at this shot while listening to Green day's "Time of your life" the picture gives me a great feeling for some reason,lol. Does that sound corny?LOL Anyway very nice shot!

Great photo Matt, I really like the composition. I'm so glad you were able to get both faces into the shot. Works very well.

The only minor critique I might have is that it is a little dark for me (but that could just be my monitor). That's just my 2 cents worth though, and you probably shouldn't listen to me.
