I am not a fan of zoos, but must admit to HATING anything in the monkey family. Still, this captures such sadness. Emotion is a wonderful thing to have. Great compassion with your capture and processing.

Very emotive image. I have mixed feelings about the whole zoo thing. On the whole I think they do some good, and it may be a case of a not perfect life for one animal resulting in research that improves the life of others of his kind in the wild. I'd like to think that, anyway. Some zoos are much better than others at caring for animals, or learning from them, or both. It's the ones that are good at neither that really break my heart.

OMG, what a great face on that giraffe with his tongue out! This looks like an illustratiuon from a really interesting children's book. Now all you need is the story to go with it :-) Quite the contrast between the giraffes' little world and the city, too. Really quite a fabulous image; I like it a lot.

This is awesome, has almost a Dave Hill look to it, but with a twist. Great work!
