This was taken in 2019, my last trip to Kalimantan (southern Borneo). We came across this small group of Long-tailed Macaques on the way back to our riverboat.

D4s, 300mm, f5, 1/500th, ISO1400.

How sweet is that? Love the expression on Mom's face and the endearing little one's look. Beautiful back-lighting. Really touching portrait-a minor detail-wish she had just a touch more headroom, but it doesn't really spoil the beauty of this lovely scene.

As mother is looking upwards, I wish there was more room on top but the view of the tiny infant is very touching, Des. A sweet image

Thank you for your input. That's very interesting. The original frame had a smidgen more space and I cropped it thinking that it would bring more focus to the infant. There's not a lot in it but you can see the full-frame here and see what you think.

The original frame is slightly better, Des but the fact that she is looking up really calls for more room above, for my tastes.  If only she was looking down at the infant it wouldn't matter at all.  You know by now that I'll always say what I feel when viewing an image - but its only my opinion, and it is still a very nice capture.  :)

Interesting that giving her more headroom, yo my eye, although a bit better, also brings out the ear of the background monkey, which I didn't really notice in the original. Perhaps you could put a little blur on that....unless your are more of a purist in these matters. As Carol mentions- still a lovely scene either way.
