After more than 1 hour of posing, the talent was getting tired of my constant requests to smile... A baby gorilla laying on his / her mother's stomach. (Note - I did not check the sex!)
Nikon D1x with 80mm to 400mm D Zoom VR lens set at 400mm (effectively 600mm in 35mm terms due to the x 1.5 CCD factor) and hand-held with VR feature engaged.

10 out of 10 for the actual subject captured, made me laugh and it is a real natural moment.. Deductions for the graininess though I am afriad, maybe thats just me being overly critical (could be down to the equipment, digital zoom, resizing in photoshop, whatever) but I hate my own photos when they are 'noisy'. Otherwise, great a photo.
I guess any picture that you take of a being that doesn't understand a camera is "candid". I'd like to see who/what the subject is looking at 5 sjgleah
Anyone who says you can't have a candid of a animal is proven wrong in this photo! LOL. I wish it were better focused and that you didn't have the glare off the glass, but still to capture this moment, it's worth it to put up with the flaws. Great job. Nicely composed. 8, just-married
Well, this is most definately a candid shot...and very humorous! However, photographically it doesn't really appeal to me. The image is blurry overall (this is probably because it was taken through a pane of glass?). -KrazyKat
