I agree with Dave! Wonderful composition and content - the perfect image to showcase their plight and the destruction of their habitat, Des. A very poignant and evocative scene and one I could look at for a long time. Outstanding shot!

This is truly wonderful- so beautiful in this setting-both the tree and the orangutan are so enchanting -a real story-teller. If only he/she could speak....

Beautifully composed and processed, the eye contact is superb. My understanding was that orang-utans almost never go onto the ground, so seeing so low is quite a treat.
