Chacma Baboon
Kruger National Park, South Africa

1/640, f/5.6, ISO 1600

This Chacma Baboon immediately caught my attention when he took a seat on the rim of a water reservoir in the Kruger National Park. With the last drops of sunlight beaming in, framing the image with a telephoto lens created a pleasant scene despite the relative ugliness of the concrete reservoir.

Your framing on this shot is really great. I feel like it needs a little more editing to bring out the great rim lighting you have on the baboon so he pops a bit more from the background. I would also consider de-saturating or darkening the highlights in the upper left corner. They're a distracting element for me.

Thanks for the feedback Jennifer.
