Wonderful photograph. The subjects are engaging and well framed. Technically it is perfection. Tells a great story and invokes a lot of emotion. Really enjoyed viewing it.

thanks a lot for your lovely comments

Comment from Joelgraphuchin
The photograph is so clear and sharp. The title works well in telling the angle of this photograph as if the young one checking and asking something. If this were my photograph, I think I would try to crop out the free leaves at the upper part to see if it would make this photo looked better in showing the expression of the two of them. Just a thought of mine. Cheers.

What a great photo. I like the tender moment is played and your title is excellent. Great frame and great detail. I know how hard it is to get hat with a dark subject.

Fred,
A great photo showing the affection between mother & "child" & her concern towards it while at the same time feeling the pangs of labour coming on. Beautiful composition framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Comment from Emmette
Lovely angles and composition. The greens are very bright , help make the photo pop out. The expression on the animal is so interesting and the feeling between them seems to be something we can all relate too.
