Chimpanzee Captive


EOS30, Sigma 100-300 F4, F8.

I apologise for posting one of my Chimp shots again, but I can't think of a better example of love and compassion than this mother and her young son. Observing them, so totally absorbed in each other, was a truly memorable experience.

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

I love seeing your chimp shots and this is perfect for the motif. Thanks for sharing their special moment with us in Wildlife.

That is really nice interaction and perfect for the motif.

It looks a bit soft- maybe a touch more USM. Although it just may be a slow SS since Mom's left hand is blurred.

Carol, thanks for sharing this poignant photo again. I might clone some of the green vegetation into the white spot in the background.
