Leap of Motherhood

A Mother Monkey's Daring Jump with Her Precious Offspring, I have seen this monkey all the way from the tree and I understood that it was planning for a jump as already few monkeys did the same. So I placed myself in a good place to get the perfect photo and while jumping, even though the light condition was bad the correct positioning helped me to capture this precious one.
