This photo reminds me of a wonderful film "Gorilla's in the Midst". The expression here is perfect. Lovely shot!

Wonderful expression on the subject. It's amazing to me how human primates are. Or how primate humans are. You get the point. I see ourselves in their expressions. Not all that different, in my opinion. Only gorillas tend to be less violent than humans.

With the leafy foreground, I like it. I try to do this somewhat when I'm at the zoo. Especially with primates. Gives a sense of being 'in the bush' or what-have-you. Great capture!

Nice capture, especially of the expression, or lack thereof, in his face. Depending what you had to work with (and quality), a cropping out on the right of what appears to be an electric fence and this possibly even with more height, make this an even better shot in my opinion. Like the 'fore bokeh', and the overall softness 'works', but perhaps also a little more detail/sharper in/on the fur may have also made this even better. The thick framing detracts, especially at this size/this 'medium' in my opinion. In the middle of his lips, is a white 'something', whether that is natural or a camera/lens/pixel issue, not sure.

WOW. The OOF leaves in the foreground give it a sense of depth, like we are peeking through the growth in the jungle. I love his "grumpy" expression.

Not really sure about the extra long landscape crop, but I really love the very creative use of natural framing. The color and clarity are great. Awesome photo!
