1) Haunting

This guy was all worked up, usually they are sedated or something - always asleep, but he was roaring and charging the fence, it was very intimidating. when he turned and looked at me with these eyes through the viewfinder i had this overwhelming feeling that it was time to move on...

2) I Like Monkeys...

3) Black Monkey in Black & White

4) Just Hanging Out

5) Afternoon Snack

6) Marmoset

That lion pic is extra special... the way he put his paws seems to suggest "rest", while the way he looks conveys a completely different message! He looks so ... sly? Would that be the word? Kind of "up to no good", but "up to no good in disguise", that is what I want to express but for lack of the right words can't...

And I like your DOF in the first two monkey photos very much. Also the conversion of the black monkey into black and white looks good! Very nice.

From today onwards I expect to send us bits and pieces from your visit to the zoo EVERY DAY, you know!?!?!
