Hi Andy,

I think this is a very nice shot. The light is amazingly warm and the exposure is (for 98%) very good. It almost seems like the light is coming from below. I also like the way the left Baboon is staring into nothingness (I wonder what she's thinking!) and the right Baboon is sleeping like a rock. Composition is great and the picture is very sharp, especially when taking into consideration that you had to use a reasonably slow shutterspeed and weren't using a tripod. I have only one nit and that is the overexposed spot on the rock (on the right) and the slightly oe part on the sleeping Baboon. Nothing serious though and thus well worth the big smiley.

Later!

Pieter

Hello Andy!
Wonderful capture.Clear details,sharpness and lighting are great.I liked POV,expression on left one and composition a lot.Very well done!TFS..:-)

It seems that this Zoo must be a very boring place for these fellows.
Photo has very good POV and composition. Light and details are perfect and the whole photo has nice, 'lazy' mood.
I like it very much.
WELL DONE & TFS

Hi Andy, I love the light and detail in this shot of sleepy baboons. It's a lovely composition and that late afternoon sun has made the scene something extra special. Great pose and POV too, very nicely done :)
