A very nice shot. The two of them are obvious to you. Which is a good thing I do like the hint of sunlight on their faces , particularly the one in the front. The background is nicely light. So it is not over bearing and distraction from the two main subjects.

Very cool shot with "purposeful interaction" between your subjects, sharply captured, and managed about as well as you could with them in the near shade while bright sun streams across the background. It looks like you were right beside them!

There's a little line of blue around the picker's ear that I think might be CA but if so would probably resolve with one click in LR.

Minnie, After I read your comment I went back to LR and clicked the magic CA button - no change. Blue is not a common colour for CA as far as I know. I think the bluish fringe might be light bouncing off the back of the animals ear and then through the fringe of white hair on the edge of the ear. Baboons have very black skin which can look blue-black or even purple-black in the right light.

I know some monkeys and their cousins have fairly bright blue markings, so anything is possible!

Because you got stuff on your back that would make a great snack. Nice.
