Beautiful back lighting. Unless you were going for irony, I may have titled "Man of the Zoo" or " ... Concrete" because the pretty grasses not convey forest. Still a wonderful animal image.

The foreground seems to match the title you've chosen for this shot, but the grey brick background doesn't. Interesting expression on this guy.

considering the genetic similarity the most someone should deduct is 10%, don't you think? I won't deduct anything. monkeys are people too. and vice versa.

Nice shot although the wall at the backs gives away the forest part of environment!

shame about the brick wall in the background. still a nice orangutan portrait. a little soft perhaps.

I really like this image. I'm still undecided about how relevant it is as an enviromental portrait but at the moment, it feels ok.

Interesting title considering the cinder blocks in the background, although maybe that's an environmental observation. Hehe I think too much! I like it, his expression is thoughtful and the three colors (gray, red, yellow) all blend well together.

Superb 'animal in it's environment' portrait. I love the lighting and the detail is wonderful. Great title too, although it would be more appropriate if there were a tree or two in the background.
