This young Baboon was getting a bit feisty with the male Impala, I just wished the frame was two frames prior so you could see the clenched fist. As the Impala walked by, junior launched out with a unexpected punch on the Impalas nose which not only spooked the Impala, but everything else as the Impala made a massive leap, snorting...

Cheepers i agree that clenched fists would take this to another level. To be honest i feel that the baboons hands being cut and the small amount of impala face dont really work. However those in focus feet and toenails are definately smile provoking. The thing about wildife photgraphy that always amazes me is how often one seems to get really close to an INCREDIBLE image however due to a few small factors end up with something average

Can’t argue Basil, well summed up.
