A cute & candid capture!!
An interesting initial impact.
Impressive capture!
Nice one sided semi overhead lighting.
Indeed, they are like humans in caring for their young.

In fact better than my mom who gave me away when I was 5...

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Excellent lighting, focusing & framing.
Thanks for sharing...

Hi Mary!
Here's another interesting photo that you've presented us with,my friend!
It seems like many primates ( both the 'higher' types like chimpanzees and the 'lesser',more primitive monkey types as well ) kept 'in captivity' have problems with reproductive/offspring survival matters! ( They probably do in the wild too! )
Well,I'm going off on a tangent now! : D
Good Show,my friend!

what a very rare shot you captured here! It is amazing to be able to see this up so close. The framing is excellent, brining in a little of the surrounding area, giving us a feel of being there and adding dimension to the shot. The colors are nice, very earthy and natural looking; pleasing to the eye. Thanks for sharing this with us! Merry Christmas!

A nice shot considering the very difficult lighting situation. I would seek out this subject in the rain or at least when the sky is overcast. The situation is perfect even if the light is not.
