Nice pair of Masked Boobies. Wish that the twig that he is offering her was bigger, but that didn't stop me from capturing the image!!

Fuji S2 Pro, 500mm, 1/350 @ f8, ISO 200, Gitzo 1325 and Wimberley Head.

Have at it.

Thanks, Hugh

Awesome shot! Love the interaction, and how his neck is touching hers.

A very tender image. It would also make a good horizontal with just the heads.

Sweet interaction/behavior. I would crop in tighter, taking some off the bottom and right side.
