Photography and post-processing at it's best. A gorgeous shot of Mango the male Orangutan at the Miami Zoo. Your clarity on the Orangutan on his face and fur really add character to him....along with good facial expression. I love your edits in topaz.....the bg is perfection....the colors are pure and not over saturated....the light and shadows truly are playing together and not competing....and the details is super! Outstanding work and thanks for sharing. I love your title and storytelling with this piece.

Hi Eileen!
'Orangs' are certainly an interesting species of Primate,aren't they?
Your photograph of Mango here is quite a lot of fun to look at! : )

What a great image of Mango you have here Eileen. He certainly looks very shaggy and I can see why these are known as 'The old man of the forest'. Great pose as he does look like he realizes Bonny is gone and is not sure what to do next. Well done Eileen ~ Steve
