Description

One of my favorite orangutans at the zoo, this female always seems to be doing something that begs to be photograhed. Photographed through glass, overcast day, ISO 800, shutter 90, f 8, hand held

Mary-Ella Bowles June 19, 2004

Thanks for your kind comments everyone - much appreciated! This orangutan is the best model - as I said, she's always doing something amusing, and holds the poses for quite a long time, and is not afraid to look right at you and the camera. (Some of the others never seem to make eye contact, and some are just always in motion, and difficult to get a good shot of). #605697
