Great DOF. Stop! i can feel that he is giving a warning "don't you come closer". So be nice to him, Gerhard.

Great capture which has it all; good POV, excellent light and sharpness and a funny facial expression captured.

Very sharp image Gerhard and really nice pose. I do not like the pole and the barbwire very much. Note is excellent and so is exposure! Well done & TFS!

Regards,

I believe, Gerhard, that if I was standing in front of this creature, with those teeth, and that attitude, perhaps, I might consider myself phobic as well.

A great photographic moment captured extremely well.

Thank you for the wonderful posting and story.

How did the saga end?

Hi Gerhard,

Hi Gerhard,
I have to tell you I think the note is as good as the photo, and the photo is superb. Excellent composition and framing here. Colors and detail are perfect. The expressive face is priceless.

You captured the action nicely at 1/500 sec. Great pose and good composition, I like where you placed the baboon on the frame. Very nicely done, and a VERY informative note.

Very strong visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.

Wonderfull capture Gerhard. I really love this attitude whatever it is aggression or fun I do not know. Excellent sharpness and colours and composition.
I have seen quite a lot of films with baboons on Animal Planet and National Geographic and they seem to be totally fearless. I have even seen them try to scare away wild dogs, hyenas and cheetas to get their prey.

Great shot. The teeth is enough to keep me awake during the night. The note is very interesting although I still don't trust them.

Excellent opportune moment Gerhard, good exposure and sharp focus, clean composition. Its a top shot and what a great read also. 8/10 Excellent post.

The streght of this shot is brutal!
The subject is fantastic, the moment great, and the rusty perch with the spine wire add a a lot of dramatism to the shot. Great details and good lighting. As always, a pleasure to enjoy your work. I would love to see this with my own eyes.
Regards.

Hi Gerhard

Looks like this guy has the last laugh. What did you do that amused him so much? Nicely composed with perfect exposure. Funny photo. Thanks.

Impressive shot, Gerhard. The pose is interesting and as usual the composition, sharpness, detail and colour are outstanding. The post and barbed wire bring harshness and an unwelcoming feel to the scene, as if warning us that this baboon is no teddy bear. Your camera buddy is right not to stick around too close or too long.

This is a great shot Gerhard, I wish I had got a baboon nearly as good as this. Excellent pose and composition and the exposure is spot on. Lovely detailed shot. Very well done.
