I'm happy to receive my first ribbon, and even happier it's a blue. Momo is a wonderful orangutan who is always friendly when I visit her just 5 minutes from my place.

You scored this in the back of the net. It is an amazing shot. You should be more than proud of yourself. Outstanding from every singe aspect. I am in awe. Well done!
I know what you mean. I think the same thing whenever I see the sad, empty eyes of some of the animals in captivity. Beautiful work! Congratulations on winning first place with this.
I cannot for the life of me believe that was your first ribbon Jason...and with 6.4, has to be some kind of record. I bet you had no clue this was going to happen. A superb image and one for the favourites folder...congrats
Congratulations Jason on your first ribbon. I'm sure there are many more in your future. Great photo. You did a great job of finding something uniquely different to submit for this challenge that totally meets the definition of unlucky, from the point of view of the orangutan. It would truly be unlucky to be captured and not in the wild for her I would think.
It's a very interesting photo, however, it doesn't tell the story too well. I expect the orang utan to be inside a steel cage because your photo title is "Captured". I do like the exposure and the mood of the creature. Well done.
Images like this make me feel quite sad. Yes, he is unlucky.
Your image works well in this challenge and doesn't need a title to make it work. Subtle exposure adds to the melancholy. I don't know if eye contact would add or detract from the emotion.
Huge dilemma: I actually love everything about this shot, it's visually stunning and very well captured - congratulations. Shame you would submit it under a theme that doesn't suit it at all; there's nothing unlucky behind the shot, the mood or even the concept. In fact, we can't even tell he's in captivity. It would've been such a great entry under "free study! (and my vote would've been a lot higher). Brilliant shot though :)
