An olive baboon sits patiently in the rain. The olive is the most widely spread species of baboon. It can be found in twenty five different countries across Africa. I photographed this one in the Ol Pajeta Conservancy of Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/320th of a second.
He looks so forlorn. Love that he and the tree are offset to the right a bit–makes for a more subtly interesting composition–the larger expanse of rain offers a softness. Lovely.

That’s an exceptional photo, Sean. The rain adds such atmosphere to the habitat. I like it a lot!
