Taken a few weeks ago, from the bridge over the Churnet Valley Steam railway at Froghall station. It was a 3 shot HDR but as the train was black I thought it would look good as a B&W.

This was taken at Monkey Forest at the end of May and the baby was just 2 weeks old at the time, hope the poor chap has grown into his ears :o)

At Monkey Forest the monkeys roam free in a large fenced in forest and you go in with them, but as this chap was young the mother was keeping well away from the path. These were taken with a Sigma 600mm F8 lens.
