Thanks for the kind words everyone! They are wonderful animals and rather hard to spot - the apes live on a large parcel of land in the zoo and are out of sight much of the time. I got lucky.

It looks like he posed so perfectly for you. Awesome shot. Every time I see one of these big guys it brings back a memory of taking my daughter to the zoo when she was three years old and there was a baby with it's mom and my daughter wanted to take the baby home lol....I tried to tell her they were not for sale and if they were what would we do when the baby grew up as big as her mom. My daughter cried all the way home....she loves monkeys to this day!
