Taken at the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo - Cleveland, OH

This was taken during a whirlwind spin through the Cleveland Zoo after its Volunteer Safari meet where I successfully interviewed to become a service volunteer there. Normally I'll walk past the baboons and see what they're doing but not take any photos, but this day I captured this moment where the female baboon is trying to attract the attention of the male.

It was a pseudo-difficult shot to get because to get this angle I had to be on one end of the exhibit, shooting probably at a 20 degree angle to the glass which can cause a lot of distortion. But it turned out and I liked how the shadows and light helped to fill and surround them while her hand is placed on the rock just so.

Great shot; as you say, very human. I can almost hear the conversation.

Every time I look at this I always feel a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Thank you very much!! It's nice to get in the right place at the right time some days.

Aww wow! that's a great moment you've captured. Everything about it couldn't be better.

Thank you!! When I saw it, I was touched--the male is usually pacing around or being obnoxious while the female watches him or fiddles with something in the exhibit. Today I almost caught a human moment which always gets to me, especially with primates.
