    Cool mandril - like the colors... and actually the tree shot kinda makes him look bashful.

    I think the first shot is better than the one you are dreaming of.

    I think they are both fantastic. Great colors, perfect eyes and good expressions.

    Impressive.

    What are you dreaming about.........
    ....you pulled off two great shots here, Troy!

    Really, I have but ONE good shot of this animal at a zoo locally here in Florida and still, my shot is not as sharp as your shots are.

    Be proud.
