[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A hamadrias baboon, the absolute alpha male in vulgar display of power, as intimidating as it gets, believe it or not his mouth is only half open and his incisive teeth are longer then they seem. Not someone you would like to meet alone in the highlands of Ethiopia, but he usually has at least a dozen of squires serving him, almost as bad as him. Anyway you get the picture, mainly this was meant to share with you the powerful impression of possible brute lethality disponible in these animals. Females are a lot smaler and nowhere near as threatening.

Hi Radu, I think he's attracted to you... or maybe more threatened by you in case you want to take his girls!!
This is a wonderful exhibition of his feelings, and you have caught him in full action! Very impressive. Bravo!
Janice

Same to you, Baboon!
Well he is telling you, isn't he?
A gorgeous portrait, Radu.
I love the color and texture of his fur that you were able to capture, not to mention the fantastic expression of his feelings. A brilliant portrait.
TFS. : )

FANTASTICA!!
Ottimi dettagli e sharpness.
Buoni i colori e compo.
Andrea

Hi Radu,
Wow, you caught him at a very good timing with excellent details on its fur and face. I like this close-up and composition. Nice teeth too :-) I would appreciate I if you display your technical settings about it though. Beside that, I like those interesting notes. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Radu

Hi Radu,

This baboon needs a good dentist!
Baboons can bite very very nasty and this one doesn't look very friendly.
You caught this one sharp and the composition is super.
My compliments!

regards,
Zeno.

A fantastic portrait of this baboon showing its might with its mouth, Radu.
Very sharp focus, details and colours.
Very amusing note.
Well done and TFS.

Radu,
Excellent sharpness here.
Pity there are no metadata included.
Aperture? ISO? Shutter speed?
Great capture
TFS

Hola Radu.- Una foto muy bella, con exelentes detalles de este especimen. El pelo y la cara son muy bien definidos. Posiblemente la perdida de sus dientes se deba a la edad.
Saludos Luis52.
