| This is emotionally striking -- there's no getting around that. It makes one's heart jump out. The reflections in the eyes are gorgeous, and they add to the animal's vibrancy. Well done! |

This photo breaks my heart and is one of the reason's I don't go to the zoo.
Congratulations for catching the emotional tone.

| Great shot... if this would have been a little sharper I truly believe it could have won the blue ribbon. |

I really like this shot! Had the focus been a tad better I would have tipped this as a ribbon.
Not only does it show the aninal behind the zoo bars, it shows a sad side to it's existance. 8 |

| In dealing with DPChallenge I have come to expect good photos to be a little oversharpened. So when I see this excellent photo I wonder whether its more natural look is due to accident or choice. I expect that if it were just a little sharper it would score better here - whether or not it would actually make it better. Sharpness aside, I really like the gaze of this primate. I love the way the steel fence works with the dark skin, hair and eyes. And I am grateful for the fact that the green of the background is not very saturated - whether by accident or on purpose. I find the cropping just a little week. I think there is far too much space above the eyes. And I think the vertical element on the right and the horizontal one on the bottom could be cropped out to some advantage. Despite all the postprocessing tweeks that could have been done to improve the photo, this is very strong shot. |

| Man, I wish this had been more in focus. It would have said it all. Good try. |

| Focus is a bit off. They always look so sad don't they. Good luck. |

| Seems to me like there's soem camera shake due to the shutter speed being too slow. You should probably boost the ISO in this situation to get the photo clearer. Camera shake looks much worse than a slightly off-focus shot. |

| This is slightly out of focus. The sparkle in his eyes is good. Maybe up the contrast a hair too. |
