[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Angkor zoo allows you to get very close to the animals. This is a mother monkey, her baby is grooming her neck. At first I thought she was just happy to have this done. But her look is so distant, far off. Can a monkey dream of another time, perhaps when she was free? Zoos are nice to see animals and hear them. I loved them when I was little. I only wish, the animals had more freedom, more room, more entertaining things to do with their endless time.

Intéressante photo, la composition laisse place à la réflection. Est-ce que tous les zoo ont encore une réelle place!!! Il existe toutefois certaines organisation qui favorise l'habitat des animaux et leur reporduction. Ce qui peut-être intéressant pour maintenir certains cheptels... Belle photo.

Je trouve cette photo magnifique et triste, je trouve suberbe la patte du singe et on remarque qu'elle est si humaine

An interesting shot. The facial expression tells the story here. That poor monkey is bored. You have made a strong visual statement with this photo.
