Gibbon new born

Could not get an open shot. But the mom dropped down to start swinging in the canopy and look what popped out...
Have no idea how to show this guy. The mom is covered up completely. The baby was the only thing that was open.
Not sure whether to delete it or show it?

What a wonderful composition of a super-cute subject! I love it!! Striking colors and detail -- well done! No need for any more of the mother, for me.

I'd clone the very small light patch top center.

Don't you dare delete! This is wonderful and works well with just the hint of mom's fur.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. It was open for maybe 1 or two seconds. Before mom took off. These guys can fly threw the canopy. Have several others but the baby heard the loud shutter of the mark IV and turned to look at me. So got lucky. I am a sucker for the little ones.
