Love this capture, so natural, and so cool that they are not looking at the camera, makes it more like a National Geographic type of picture vrs one from the zoo. = )

Thanks! It was at a monkey reserve not too far from me in the UK.
Trentham Monkey Forest - Stoke.

Anthropomorphism can be an interesting concept to play with but difficult to do well and a lot of people stay clear of it for fear of falling foul of the 'ah, isn't that cute' syndrome.
However, when photographing primates I think the viewer will always try and relate in some way as if the subjects were indeed human so you just have to accept that and get on with it.
The point I'm trying to make in a very rambling manner is that this is a beautiful study of dependence, I'm not even going to assume that it's mother and infant because primates have an extended family existence where this could just as easily be an older sibling doing a bit of babysitting (I told you it's difficult to avoid Anthropomorphism when viewing such images).
Excellent shot

Thank you!
It's not a zoo, zoo. Like behind metal fences in large enclosures. It's almost like a monitored reserve, they can't escape from the grounds, but it's HUGE.

Ahh, I don't at all, it's a bit too far away and expensive for me to get to frequently.
They're asking for the best interaction photo I think, and I have none haha! Just of the monkeys boo.

The links in the blog.
It's just a page that other Deviants can leave their links on to advertise themselves. Another way of getting more watchers/comments/views etc!
