Monique,

Wonderful shot. The use of the mother to frame the baby is very well done but it is the babies 'expression'and tentative look as it peaks from under mom that puts it over the top for me. Thanks for posting here and thanks for the height info.

Monique,
If there is something wrong with this image the cuteness prevents my recognizing it. Thanks for sharing.

I really love this. I think you could boost your saturation some and it would only improve. Love the composition!

You really do a wonderful job with intimate photos in zoos that don't have a "zoo look" and this is another in that theme. Love the expression on the baby's face and the framing implied by the mother's legs. Would consider burning in the light area to the left of the baby just a bit.
