Now that I have broadband (no more excuses) thought I would share a pic and see what the forum members think of it.
Taken at perth Zoo, D70+70-300mm @ 90mm, 0ev,PS=auto Levels only, approx 50% crop.

What caught my attention was the tired/bored expression next to the worn out tyre, they seem to compliment each other.

There's a lot to like in this pic.
Firstly, a nice tight crop around the subject, no extraneous matter in the image. The colour of the orangutan is great, and its expression is terrific. I don't know whether it's boredom, or deep thought, like:
"If I put this tyre over near that fence, I can get out of here!"
Well done. :D

Andy, I also like it a lot, the composition and colouring really work combined with the expression really make it a great shot

That's a great candid. It's almost as if he is posing for you.

Beautiful photo.

Is the orangutan planning something ?

Cheers

Thank you all for your kind comments, it was not as painfull as I thought! :D
On second thought Cricketfan/Manta I think you are right, he is not bored, but rather a caption could read "...only 100,000Klms..."

Regards,
