Great shot Thomas, and wondeful detail.. we had the same problems at a zoo last week, taking through glass is not easy to do, and you achieved it perfectly #1180603

What a wonderful capture, under difficult circumstances, of this very cute primate, Thomas!! It's SUCH a shame to hear of beauties like these being SO endangered, isn't it? The textures, lighting, clarity of detail, tones and composition here all are exceptional!! :o) #7943813
