Mother & Child

5 years 9 months ago #592172 by earthian
Langurs are very common in India and one can find them in many urban areas, leave alone jungles. Novice (read stupid) wildlife photographers ( and i am one) often lust after the more elusive species, such as the tiger, leopard. The bragging rights seem to be higher and the levels of envy amongst other (novice) wildlife photographers who were unlucky, higher.

Photographs of langurs and that too, taken in a jungle, are scorned at.

i had my D3s attached to my 600mm prime when i came upon this mother-child duo. The expression on the mother's face seemed poignant to my eyes and i took a shot. Never mind if the front bokeh of the leaves interfered with the mother's body. The mother-child filled the frame. No crop.

On reflection, i rather like this picture and rue upon the many opportunities that i may have missed due to the exotic species fixation. Never mind. Lesson learned.
