A wonderful portrait of Amanda people watching from her perch above you the sun shining down on her & showing off the shine on her copper coloured hair. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

She is definitely checking the 'lookers' out isn't she Grace.

Excellent notes to go w/ this piece. Always appreciate that! You handled the very bright sun very nicely! Good for you. Focus is spot on crisp....she's wonderfully detailed w/ such good eye contact. Your colors are natural....and, as I said, exposure is good as well.

You do such fine work w/ your animals at the zoo Grace. This is fine work under less than ideal conditions.

    I think that is part of what makes a really GOOD photographer Grace. We can all make decent images under the best conditions but making a good image when conditions are NOT so great.....well, THAT is a good photographer. ....and YOUR animals always look wonderful so kudos to you!

This looks like me when I'm thinking of what next to draw..lol. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this handsome fella is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Nice clean, close up of a orangutan. The orangutan is seen very clearly which I like. It's almost like she or he is posing for the photo. It is great that he or she is looking at the camera.the centering is fantastic. Great job

    Your welcome
Comment from Lauren Douglas


This is a great photograph. The more I looked at the more I liked it. The expression is wonderful and your focus and sharpness really capture it. The composition is fantastic with the angles of the wood and the shadows on the orangutan which mimic the triangular patch of blue sky. I also appreciated all the information on orangutans in the notes. Nicely done!

It is a pleasure to see your camera settings improve with each new posting lately. It is a challenge to Capture animals in Captivity. The enclosure they are in plus the natural light makes it Difficult.
You handled the Bright sun well and her Captured pose of her People watching is Priceless!
You have SHARP focus and nice eye Clarity.

It's a sweet shot that draws us in.
Well done :)

A magnificent capture of this
Orangutan, nice is the expression on his face and you can see that he is watching people. I could watch these Orangutan for hours they are entertaining. Your framing is perfect and photo is well composted. Your spot on focus gives us that close up view of this gorgeous creature. Your colors, details, and clarity and contrast are all excellent. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!
