This works quite well Ronald, the grooming behaviour is interesting to observe and the over the shoulder look by the one baboon helps. Some of the poses and a few distractions involving tails and vegetation not quite in the perfect spot are not ideal. Always tough shooting a group of animals all doing there own thing. A definite keeper, where you took what they gave you.

Neat grouping. My wish would be for more than one set of eyes to be visible to the viewer and for there to be less intruding vegetation in the right half of the frame. I like that is is more than an image of animals by including the grooming activity.
