I got lucky with this one. I just had to wait until these two looked at me before I snapped the shot. The complementary colors of the apes, sky, and leaves make this one of my favorites from my trip to Borneo several years ago. Sorry about the poor quality scan, I need to redo this one. :roll:

James, This one really made me smile. These babies are so cute. What an experience it must have been to see and photograph them in the wild. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you posted this, it's wonderful. And somehow as soon as it loaded I was sure it taken in the wild. I love it, and Borneo just moved a couple nothces higher on my list!

Love this one, certainly gave me a smile. The one on the right looks like it came right out of the Simpsons! Light is a little harsh but it's also so wonderfully natural it doesn't bother me. Only one minor point: I would be tempted to lighten the small dark shadow of a branch on the left one's upper lip.

Fantastic shot in the wild, must have been an amazing experience. The light suits the subject perfectly.
