Cheeky Monkey
I had great fun watching these two vervet monkeys on the Masai Mara, Kenya. The baby monkey has obviously seized his opportunity for some food when Mum is distracted for a moment…
Taken with Nikon D50.

3 days and no one has commented on this great shot ?!!! Have they no eyes?
I know how difficult is to get this kind of close up in the wilds!! Great job!!!!
ApeArt
Bless you Carisma, thank you for recognising this! I have only had 10 views, which is a shame
Ginny Schmidt
The lighting, the detail in the hair, the baby’s fingers and hopeful look … beautiful.
ApeArt
Thanks Ginny, I so love the little monkey’s expression
Lior Goldenberg

These are the most precious monkeys. When I was in Africa I took several photos of these
vervent monkeys in Kenya and soon will be uploading some endearing photographs of these very special and sentient creatures.

Another title could be – the old ones are always the best : Look up there, Mum !
It seems to have worked as has this fantastic photo. Capturing a story and expressions with such clarity and split second timing. Another saying is:
One knows when a shot is exceptional when the naive viewer says :
That shot looks easy ! – Come back to me with a copy of this shot and we’ll got from there :o) Lighting on Mum’s head is awesome from her eyes to the open mouth to the shadows – just PERFECTION. The background gets an honourable mention too with its slanting trunk and greenery.

What a gorgeous shot. Love their facial expressions. Congrats!!
