| Very nicely exposed. The only thing I don't care for is the way the vignetting seems to hug him. 7 |

| Perfect lighting and expression. Face seems a tad oversharpened but overall an excellent portrait. |

| Very cool. Nice catchlight in the eyes, good clarity in the face. I love the bit of straw(?) he has in his mouth. The yellowy outline is a bit distracting, I think it would stand to be darker. |

I like the pose and the overall image I think a closer crop on the face would give more impact
Good lighting and detail well done

| Spectacular detail on the face, and I like how the fur then just fades in detail and the background almost creates a halo. Very very well done. |

| Great "portrait" indeed! Bumping it up on another look to 10. It's a great study on bringing out its human face. |

| Kudos to you. This is a tightly framed composition that focuses our attention solely on the subject face. The face of this chimpanzee has so much character - the textures and tones of the facial features gives us a 'map' to explore. Then we see the eyes, the eyes that hold that spark of intellience as this chimp seems to be staring back at us. |

9 - Excellent. Good color, texture, focus, crop, background and character. Criticism; not much, want to say the nose a bit sharper, but likely difficult to get those eyes so good as you have, not sure. Like the leaf/grass(?) in the mouth (if that also were sharper, be even better) and the bits of grass(?) 'here and there' on the fur, which maybe, a fraction more detail/texture in may have made this even better (the focus shift issues aside) but not sure on that as I like this like it is. Doesn't look over-processed, which is good. Maybe, wider (640), but not sure, like the vertical framing - also would depend what you had to work with. Great shot as is. Title (minor), 'works', but those eyes lend themselves to a more befitting title, 'maybe'. edit:wording

| Excellent picture, as I look at it though, the halo effect is a minus, not a plus. Have to knock one point for that. Still a 7. |
