Love that orangutan and the frogs! Nice set all the way around.

I like the turtle it has a character. And I like the first frog shot.

I've re-done the Orang Utan shot, following someone's suggestion. I was after something even more atmospheric that captured more of the Orang's essence. This one was done with the B/W Infrared filter in Photoshop. What does everyone think? Does the 'personality' show through more?

What is behind those eyes? I was drawn to them especially in the B/W IR. Changing from color made a dramatic difference and emphasized the face. Good PP choice.

Thanks Al - that's what I was trying to achieve.
