Comment from Donna Ruiz
He is magnificent! Love the very tight crop that allows the viewer to really focus on his amazing face. The light coming in from the left is really nice. You have handled the shadows really well. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us Eileen.

Another great shot Eileen....I like the expression on this Orangutans face. Perfectly cropped and well composed shot. Very well photographed with good lighting sharp focus and good details in the fur. Super eye Clarity. Your light and shadows perfect as well. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

The details in this are wonderful. He seems so focused on what hes doing, It's nicely cropped, colors are muted but it works well here. I love this photo. Great job!

Very nice close-up shot of this orangutan. I like the way you have used the natural image to frame its face. I would like to see a bit more of its eyes. Good sharp details throughout, really gives you a sense of the animal and its character. Good color. Well seen and taken.

Eileen,
A beautiful thoughtful portrait of this most handsome of Orangutans his eyes fixed on something caught in his long shaggy coat with his thoughts else where. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A very nice shot. It is remarkably sharp for being so heavily cropped. The colors are great, his eyes are fantastic, and the detail in his fur is superb.

This is a beautiful close look at this orangutan as he intently looks ahead, this is very well photographed with good focus, the image is clear to view, interesting subject for sure! Well controlled exposure, colors and tones appear natural, beautiful details , I can see the texture of his hair and skin. Artists notes are appreciated as well. This is nicely cropped and edits are effective! Well presented!
