[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Diggin into the archives here, here's a shot from the Calgary Zoo. One of the reasons I haven't posted it was I wasn't sure of the ID. Thanks for the Gibbon ID, I thought it was a lemur.

Hello Mike

A beautiful portrait of this fellow.It reminds me of a gibbon.Excellent colour saturation and sharp details.Good POV and DOF.TFS

Hi Mike.
Very interesting pose that you have caught and posted here. He (or she) looks like an old and thoughtful person. Perhaps it was thinking about its life, its children, its mistakes... Its expression is very wonderful and you are successful to capture this expression. Bravo and TFS. Sincere greetings.

That is a gibbon, not a lemur.

A wonderful shot, Mike.
I love the expression that you captured on his face.
The details are so sharp, I can see every silky hair.
The light is beautiful, making the hair glow golden.
Fantastic work, and TFS. : )

Hi Mike,
Sharp detail and the close composition works well..
You have Mr Gibbon's attention..he seems rather tight-mouthed about the whole thing :)
Nicely done & TFS!

Hi Mike,
A nice shot on this Gibbon. The colors and detail look very good. He is looking pretty sad with that expressive face. Nice shot!

Hi Mike, good shot of the Gibbon, I like his expression and how he hangs his large hands down. Colours and details are good. TFS

A cute portrait of this little furry Gibbon Mike.
The look on his face is priceless...even though it's a bit of a sad face.
I like the detail and colours of his fur, nicely framed too.
