 Yes, another ape photograph. I call him Orc because of his ears. He's a very gentle and quiet and prefers to hang around with himself more often than not, especially when the youngun's are playing.

Nice chimp shot, but repetitive. Milking it for all it's worth, eh? I might do the same. Keep it up and people will complain of too many monkey shots ;)

Beautiful tones in this B&W.

Real sense of character here - mono is a good choice too.

Hre looks fairly benign, and problably is most of the time.

Yes, this shot is just wonderful. The choice of B&W gives it more drama. He seems wise and thoughtful. Great capture indeed! Personally, I would like to see deeper contrasts but that's just personal taste. ;-) 9

I love the low key tones of this photo, as well as, the captured expression of this ape, but think it could have more impact with a lightening of the eyes and some catch light there. Still, very well done.

Hi Nyki,

Beautiful photo and great tone. I like how you captured the blank expression.

I'm gonna go to the zoo and see what I can come back with, as I'd love to get a thoughtful comment from you.

10, Keep it up...

This just has to win! On the other hand, not sure I want him staring at me for a whole week from the ribbon page. Anyway, fantastic capture.

I like the title integration on this photo. This chimp looks old... maybe the wise man of the group... the leader. Maybe he sits quietly and oversees the antics of the younger members of the group. Excellent shot... = 10

the skin and hair texture is great -- I really get the feeling of the wisdom of the ages in this photo

Crop a bit too tight on the top. Great expression on it's face. Nice B/W tones.
