A few weeks ago I went to the zoo. The mother orangutang there had just given birth, and they put him in the primary exhibit for the first time. I took a bunch of shots, and these were my favorites. I like the mood with all of them, but I just have a feeling that I coulda done more. Your opinions?

Picture 3, the bars of the cage seem to work well with hand coming through. Picture's 1 and 2 they work against the face. I really like the expression, the B&W, and focus too.

The photos are fine. Not sure what more you could do. The cage kinda sucks but then again adds to the feeling of sadness. I like them in b&w

I really like these!


Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

thanks

I know the cage is a bit obnoxious but I couldn't do much so I just stuck with the theme
