WC #163; EMOTIONS: Affection
Snow Monkey Mother and Child at Detroit Zoo.

Nothing quite says affection like a tender scene of a mother and child of almost any specie. Oh those baby animals, they do spike our cute meters don't they?

Robert
This is beautiful-the interaction between the monkeys, the texture of the fur and the eye contact with the baby. :toast:

Beautiful shot Robert,

nothing like a mother and her baby. Love the baby peaking out and look straight at you.

Very touching

This rates right up at the top on the cute meter, Bob. Great exposure and details along with the wonderful composition of mother and child.
