Before I changed my submission to this:



I had this as my challenge submission:



I was going to call it "Five Million Years and a Pane of Glass", but I figured the picture depended too heavily upon the title to shoehorn it into the challenge so I changed to the first for a much more obvious challenge tie-in. I liked this second photo and it was a heck of time to get it as the ape exhibit is rather dark with reflective plexi-glass. Do you think it would have done better? Critiques are welcome. Thanks.

Albeit this is a good photo,,, I do believe you were better served by the photo you submitted, simply because the separation was evident. In this instance, I for one cannot see the separation factor and as such would have given it a lower score.

Just my 2 cents worth...

I think if the kid was looking at the animal on the bottom left it would've been a more appealing shot.

You might've received a higher score for the chimp shot even though it was shoehorned in because the image is rather well shot.

Yeah, there is an off camera gorilla, an aunt of the infant, on a platform above that the boy is looking at. Right after I took that picture the infant just sort collapsed face forward and took a nap. It was funny because he performed a sort of nose dive into the hay.

Here's another (not great) picture of the infant with its aunt:



This experience has me saving up for a 50mm with a wider apeture so I can take those low light shots. I had to use such a slow shutter speed that a number of shots were blurry. Try telling a gorilla or chimp to hold still sometime and see how well it works.
