a very interesting story telling image, like the details you have captured in the mouth and eyes and very good details and textures in the fur, a very pleasing image to look at. Thank you for sharing. dale

Mary, a very interesting shot that is also unique. You caught her voicing her opinion :)

Nicely held blacks that show off nicely and her completely focused open mouth is the piece de resistance.

Mary,
A beautiful stop action picture of the Siamang female uttering her morning call mouth wide open showing off her perfect set of sharp white teeth. the back lighting helps her to stand out from her background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Great animal shot posted here! Your slightly off-centre composition definitely captures a special moment. Why is this calling out necessary? The image is sharp and well exposed. Fine shot!

Wow thanks Nikman, much appreciate your high rating and feedback. They call out to tell other Siamang family that this is there territory - usually when this family stop the other one which is in another section of zoo start up, makes for an interesting couple of hours :)

Thanks for letting me know!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A well timed still motion shot with a facial expression like no other!
The buccal cavity looks like an ancient temple with the upper alveolar arch resembling the ceiling with those fangs as primitive defenses that automatically fall off when trespassing enemies enter.
Earth tones lend a natural feel to the setting.
Sharply focused. Subdued illumination.
