this is a fantastic shot of a creature i'm not sure i've seen before. you've done an amazing capture of the softness of their coats (captured me immediately) the body language/self-posing of the two is priceless. Exposure, background, sharpness all amazing.

A great capture of these two. The look on the face of the mother is very compelling and one almost wonders what she may be thinking. The baby is in a nice natural position. Nice work Fred ~ Steve

Oh look at those faces sg....no...not ugly at all.

Wonderful focus especially on faces of both Mom and baby. Love the light in both their eyes. Mom's back a tad bright but w/ those great faces it doesn't matter a bit.

sure thing sg.

Comment from Sange
You did a fine job on the eyes of both Mom and Wee one Fred.
Exposure is handled well, a bit more white balance control was needed on the white on Mom's back.
Your focus is sharp with great fur details. Seems a tad cut off at bottom, but I expect there was a branch or something in the way.
Fine capture Fred!! ;)

Comment from Lolly Cardinal
Fantastic animals. Beautiful coats they both have. Mother's awesome face, appears to be a mask but still fantastic. Colors are bright, clear, sharp and magnificent. Properly centered, detailed and shadowed this is a magnificent photo and an awesome eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and GOOD LUCK!
May you and your family have a great week-end.

Very nice capture. I love the sharpness--more evident in the larger version--and detail. One thing thing that bothers me a little is the bottom, it looks cut off. I keep wanting a little more of the baby. Doesn't have to be the whole thing, just enough to suggest the babies overall shape. Anyway, very nice indeed.

I thought it might be something like that. Well it's still a real keeper.

I think, like beauty, ugliness is a thing that takes a bit of growing into. A very nice shot with great detail in their faces and beautiful eyes. Very nice composition and great colors.

Well I have to say, that they are beautiful guereza's! Their faces make them look very sad to me, and I just want to give them a hug!
Your photograph is very well done. The mother looks like she is posing with her baby for you to shoot her with your camera. It is a very focused shot; I love all the details--I can see every piece of fur! Thank you for sharing!

Comment from drmerlin
This is a lovely image. Both animals seem cute to me! I really like the composition and your choice of DoF is spot on. I would suggest that the image could do with being just a tad sharper.

Nice work. Thank you so much for sharing.

uploading problem as usual: on my screen the original is much sharper....

Uploading accurate images is such an issue on FAR. It is really annoying.

Kind regards, Brian
