Oh Grace, this is just precious!!

I LOVE this pose and it makes for a great visual here.

Your finely held blacks are perfect and although the background is a tad overpowering, I know the trials and tribulations of getting that just right.

So kudos to your magnificent shot!!

This captured pose of a Male Gibbon is PRICELESS Grace!
I think the animals at the zoo are so giddy when you come to visit, they all give your lens the best unique poses.
Nice job on exposure/ white balance and nice focus.
It is a shot that makes me say:
He's such a BOY!
WELL DONE :)

    He was sooooo posing for you... Seriously never saw a Gorilla, chimpanzee or Monkey that relaxed in a zoo. They usually look so sad...

lol...he is so enjoying the sunshine isn't he Grace!!

Crisp, sharp focus on the little sunbather. Beautiful color and perfectly exposed. You even caught a bit of sparkle in his eye. Nicely put together image here Grace.

This is such a perfect shot. This little guy looks like he was posing for you as if he was center fold Gibbon for PlayApe of the Month for the March edition magazine [chuckle chuckle].
The color, lighting, highlights, shadows, saturation, hues, exposure, not to mention utilizing full frame and your overall composition are all top notch. Excellent. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much. I lightened up the background up a little after you gave me your feedback on the female. Thank you for the advice and the review :)
