Finalist – A Gentle Touch On my fi rst trip to one of my bucket-list destinations, I was observing a troop of baboons on the banks of Botswana’s Chobe River from a boat. There were many adults and several babies, which were barely a week old. I loved seeing the intimacy between this mom holding her baby lovingly and the dad gently touching the youngster’s face. It’s an experience I will always treasure. – By Braeme Holland, Cape Town Canon 5D MkIV, EF 500mm f/4, ISO
