Comment from Sange
Nice clarity on the face and upper arms as she is on the move. I think you needed to raise shutter speed to at least 1/2500sec or higher to get clear stop action. Exposure is handled well.
I may have cloned out the building in the background, but fine camera techs over all Mary

Thanks Sange for your constructive advice I was totally unprepared for this one and agree the speed needed increasing. ☺ Mary

Great action shot of this lovely orangutan having a play. I like the pose you caught here which really shows the motion well.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent detail. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Initial impact: Easy to enjoy
Creativity of presentation: background color is helpful to present the orang Utan in his brown as focal point, the action is also enjoyable
Color Harmony: beautiful
Center of Interest: focus on the orang utan's texture and design is good
Technical Excellence: beautiful angle and frame

Well done

A fantastic stop action picture of Puspa the Orangutan swing down to the ground the motion of her long shaggy "Ginger" hair swaying in the breeze frozen by your fast exposure. It look a if she has near perfect surrounding in the Zoo. Beautiful stop action composition, beautiful framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

A good action shot as she decided not to pose and hold still for you. Love the flowing long fur, good focus and frame as it tells your story so well. Good one.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
You sure can feel the movement on this image. Puspa's face is sharp and the nice blur through her fur gives the feeling of movement. It is too bad that parts of her are amputated, but HC BRESSON did this with street photography and the reason he could get away with it was because of emotion....you have captured the emotion.

A fun day at the zoo, well seen, quick reflexes with hands on camera!
