Orangutan (Captive)

Her facial expressions are something to behold, pose and demeanor which are so much human like that it's scary !!, I wonder which one of us is more civilized!!!

Totally sweet image. Only nit is that the head is cut off just before the top. Wonder whether it would work to either crop more or include more. Great shot overall!

This is so expressive! I like the crop because it focuses you in on that wonderful face.

Great facial expression Alex. I guess that i-TTL works on Apes also. Congrats.

Wonderful shot. The head tiltled down with the eyes rolled slightly up makes for a very endearing pose! One of my favorite subjects... Is this metro?

You have to know how much I love this one. This looks so real that I feel like I can reach out and touch her....and feel the hair. Absolutely an incredible image. One of your best.

Cheryl, When I capture a good image of Uncle Harry I will post ASAP, he is indeed impressive, but they are a pretty relaxed couple, ever so slowly just to move around, but when they pose you have a great opportunity!!
Thanks for looking!!!

Ahhh...... so this is your Aunt. That explains a lot!

Seriously, a super portrait, very well done. I really appreciate you showing what the D70 can produce when used by a skilled photographer.
Great job!

Excellent shot Alex, you have really got a winner here!! By the way, this is one of the first shots where you haven't said ''reminds me of a girlfriend I used to have............''

Stunning portrait, well done Maestro!!
