Challenge: National Geographic (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S602Z
Location: Como Zoo, St. Paul, Minnesota
Date: Jan 18, 2004
Aperture: F2.8
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/8.5
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: Jan 18, 2004

I procrastinated and made a last minute capture at my local zoo. I shot this through glass and had to resort to using an ISO of 1600 (1 meg photo) because of the lack of light. Performed minor levels, color, and sharpness adjustments. Resized and bordered.

Perspective is unclear, the face is very good anyway.

would have like to see it cropped closer to the face and shame the eyes are in such deep shadow

I think the title should have been "Prostrate Primate".

Well I suppose being a prostrate ape is better than being a prostate ape! *rimshot*

Great shot! I would like to see this one with the focus only on its face and the hands/arms blurred more.

Great face and pov. hand on left distracts from an overall well done shot

a good capture, but his eyes are too dark and have no eye contact.
