It was shot at the zoo. I had two pictures, one displaying the glass and one without it. I liked the reflection in the glass because it made the point come across stonger that they are caged behind it.

Nice idea. However, technically suffering quite a lot. Reflections in glass are very distracting (get closer to glass, consider polarising filter). subject is out of focus and wires in background distract.frame on LHS adds nothing and should be cropped out.
The reflection of the glass is hard to avoid. If there's enough light you can try a polarizing filter, or using a tripod and no flash. I like the idea though.
using a polariser here ( if camera can take one ) would really improve this by removing the nasty glass glare on the bottom of the shot and I would also have cropped the dark black diagonal line from the left as it distracts from the ape too.
My low score has nothing to do with creationism v. evolution. I subscribe to the latter, but this image has been taken obviously through some kind of a window, and a dirty one. There is a pretty large and bad reflection in the middle bottom, and a unnecessary distracting line on the left that should have been cropped out. The remainder of a background is too busy. I hope you do better in the future, this was a good idea not executed well enough.
The positives: the ape's expression is for at least a 9.
Total: 4
Lot of glare on the glass. I would have cropped more on the left to remove the dirty glass. Yess it would have lost the fingers. Great facial capture, eyes looking right at ya.
