Very cute!

Congratulations on winning my "Great Apes" photo challenge! It was tough deciding but i really love this shot because of the unique way in which you captured it, the lighting is so interesting. The focus is spot on and those eyes are just amazing! I also appreciate your description and it really drew me into the moment even more and made me imagine being there myself. Great job Matt! Enjoy your new award, well deserved!
