An amazing capture! I love the expressions on their faces. It's like " Don't you dare come near my baby!" and " You are not getting any of this milk!" Congratulations on being a finalist.

Behind The Lens
Location
I captured this moment while exploring the monkey forest in Ubud, Bali. I love exploring places I've never been before and always have my camera with me when doing so.Time
This happened in the worst part of the day to shoot, right at midday. However, being knowledgeable of your gear and understanding what changes to make to your exposure in a moment's notice make you able to shoot under almost any conditions.Lighting
This was just a beautiful moment that I happened to walk past. If they had been sitting in the direct sunlight and not this shaded area it would probably have affected the mood of the photo.Equipment
Nikon D800 with a Nikon 28-70 f2.8 lens.Inspiration
I love capturing moments that don't seem important until you see the image that was made. When I saw this mother feeding her baby, and they both looked right at me, I knew I had to capture this almost perfect mother/baby moment. It's not always easy to get people to look directly at your lens so capturing these primates was very special.Editing
I raised the exposure a tiny bit and also opened up the shadows. I dodes the eyes just enough to give them a little bit more life.In my camera bag
I always have my D800, a 24-70 f2.8, a 70-200 f2.8, a 50mm 1.4, 2 speed lights, and my laptop. I basically travel with my office on my back.Feedback
Always be aware of what's going on around you and try to see beautiful moments that are either happening or about to happen and capture them.
