This image shows the wonderful tender human like expressions these animals have. Mama looks like she must be in labor and her concerned baby is holding her hand. You did a great job on this picture. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from LinebyLine
A wonderfully touching and heartwarming photo. THe mother certainly seems to be in a little distress, and the baby obviously is very aware of her discomfort. Thanks for a share that invokes that deep loving feeling!

What a great capture of this lovely mother chimpanzee, expecting another baby with her little one looking concerned. I like the pose you caught.

Lighting and focus very good. Very nice composition. Suzanne

This is a very lovely photograph, words cannot describe the love in the mothers face and eyes. Seems to be close to birth, yet lovingly touching the young baby. Beautiful colours and expressions.

Comment from gidavidson
A really cute and fun shot. The young one does look concerned and Mom looks to be resting and probably ready to deliver the new family member soon. Very good frame and focus.

Comment from jrconrad
Mom doesn't look that happy about it either. Great capture. Interesting angle. I might clone out that piece of dry grass on the baby's head. Cheers, James.
