There is a wonderful intelligence in his stare - as though he is not studying the camera pointed at him, but the photographer, his purpose and possibly the outcome. A bit of anxiety maybe or apprehension that possibly, if necessary, could convert to anger in an outburst. The arms and legs look extremely strong, though not quite strong enough to free him from the uneasiness in his mind. Yet, the wrinkles in his face and hands portray a sound wisdom. Excellent capture.

Wow. When I first saw this I said to myself, "It looks so human." Then I read your title. You really captured the humanity of this ape.
