This wonderful creature is a Golden Lion Tamarin from the Hogle Zoo. I had spent a long time, tracking mom and baby. This was the best take. In my mind, the two were both there. I just failed to share the connection with the world. I do tend to expect others to read my mind. ;-)

Back for comments. A nice nature shot with but unfortunately I think voters will be looking for mother/child relationships. Would have scored much higher if the young were in frame as well.
This would have been so much better if their was a baby somewhere in this image with his Mother ever watching and protecting it..... It is still a very good image.
