This is an interesting shot.  Baboons at the beach.  I cropped some off all around to make the baboons more dominate.  And I lightened the baboons and sharpened the image a bit.

I think this is one time that the 'rule of thirds' doesn't work.  If you framed to get the baboons to the right side of the frame you would loose the sea, which is a very interesting element.  If you framed to get them to the left they would look constrained.  (Too bad they wouldn't pose facing the sea. ;o)

Difficult to set up a good shot with the baboons continuously moving around. Unable to get the baboon on the spot of white sand creeping up on the rocks. Would have made for a better composition.
This image has the baby baboon standing out against the water. Has more cropping possibilities.
