Such a beautiful portrait of the mom and young one, Jagdeep. Stunning!

What a cool portrait. If it were mine I’d darken the exposure some, and pump the contrast a little.

Holy, double eye-contact, Batman! Fabulous portrait of our primate cousins. Gorgeous light and pose, too. Catchlights in both sets of eyes! Superb. Did you have to watch and wait long? I just love the tenderness here, for lack of a better word. Protectiveness, too. That little one is in good hands.
I’m sort of torn on the dark/light relativity. Obviously this is in a shade tree, but with full sun, so we expect things to be bright, however you could darken up the bg and see how it looks. If it still looks natural.

Very pleasing portrait and family scene. I am enjoying the exposure and light.

As per suggestions, I have adjusted some exposure with masking, but decided not to increase the contrast, as it might have killed the delicate mood here.

What a beautiful & tranquil mother & baby portrait, Jagdeep! I love that both mother & baby are looking at you. The lighting is great and the details are crisp & clean. When viewing the large versions I prefer the first post. It’s cleaner & softer which helps with the gentle mood. The second version seems to have brought out the noise quite a bit. Maybe you used noise reduction on the first one & not on the second one?

Killer shot and the second one is even better. Great emotion and the diagonal of the baby and mother’s arm leading to the face of the mother is a great composition. Everything works including the backlight. Behavior and emotion in an animal image really improves the impact and individuality.
