Taken at the Milwaukee County Zoo. The look here was somewhat haunting...I thought. This is a rework of an '06 shot.

    Very good. I like your composition with the face placed in the upper third. The expression is also what makes this photo. Nice work.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I was on a balconey looking down. The monkies are in an open area that consists of an island surrounded by water. A very open setting that gives them a great deal of freedom.
