I agree..cloan the back person out of the image and you have a work of art here! I love the old-fashioned look you've achieved. NICE!

Thank you for sharing these images. These creatures are amazingly intelligent. I wish I had a zoo nearby.

do chimps cry?

Utter despair. It looks like they cry so it's the perfect title. This is heartwrenching...what an emotive image! Your editing highlights the gloominess of the shadows, too. I want to cry. This would ribbon for the 'framing challange'.

We need to see sad because that's life for animals in captivity. I'm sure all zoos do the best they can to comfort their animals, but still...they are locked-up in jail.

This wonderful creature still tenderly holds her baby and I know she's not thinking this, but one gets an uneasy feeling she's wistfully wishing for freedom for her baby. Extra nice editing...looks like a painting Roz.

omg...I guess they were happy to see you...dinner time I suppose!! My gawd they are swimming all around eyeing everything. They are such fierce and primitive creatures, aren't they?

Does a possible hole in the boat ever cross your mind when your out there at night?! Superb capture of these awesome things. I'm glad you shoot them with your camera and not a gun, this is a NICE image!

Cool looking mound sticking up out of the ground!! I love wide open spaces. You know why grapes do so well in your area? Same latitude or is it longitude as Chili which produces nice grapes. Saw it on NOVA a few weeks ago.

You caught her trying not to laugh out loud! Fun capture. I love candids....it's nice to step outside the comfort zone. Great DOF!

This reminds me of an old English Manor House...my dream come true. What a fabulous piece of Architecture. Look at the light on the rightside of the building shining on the top window. You should take more images of this castle...thanks for sharing!!
