Roger that is a wonderful capture, you did a super job-Contrats. Only one small correction those are both Vervet monkeys, Genus and species = Chlorocebus pygerthrus. The Blue faced or simply Blue monkey looks entirely different, its belongs to the Genus Cercopithecus (sp. mitis). They overlap in many parts of their East Africa range. That image will make a beautiful print.

Hi Red, thanks for letting us know that I was in error in naming the monkeys. While on the trip our guide told us they were the blue face monkey. I will let the other people that were with me on the trip know that we were wrong abbut the species.
Thanks MaggieBee, Jude, Karl, Susan, Johnny Mac, Shasoc, Harsha, LilJud, Terry D, and Tim.
I will be posting more.
I have Hippo, Zebra, Wildebeast, Jackel, Bat Eared Fox, Hyena, Warthog, Impala, Dik-dik, Gazelle and a couple of birds to go. I also have some landscape shots that I will be posting.

Well done roger.
