Great going EJ. Close up but not too tight with plenty of space. Excellent detail and perfect exposure IMHO..

I thought I recognized this face. I think this guy had the same posture when I was there with my three year old in early December.

Nice shot. The posture is great, and you must have shot him on a cloudy/overcast day. Nicely done.

My favorite primate! He has really grown from the last time I saw him. I like the intelligent look!
