Orang Utan rehabilitation centre - Sumatra.

crop out or clone out that barbed wire!!! Poor thing, looks like he's contemplating a life behind bars. How about a square or portrait crop closer into the face - the grrn background is distracting - presumably only shot at f/5.6???

Thanks for you comments neil...i agree that the barb-wire may be a little un-sightly... i am new to photoshop and will clone it out at some stage. The Orang Utan is not in an enclosure and is free to roam as deep in to the jungle as it wishes. He is however an orphan and as a result has had a lot of human contact, therefore it will take a long time for him to become comfortable with life too far outside the reach of the Re-habilitation Centre. His name is 'Olly'.

 

I may try the crop you suggest... i do like the green in the background though? The shot was taken with an automatic Espio and therefore i had no choice as far as Fstops are concerned.

This is just my opinion but I feel more of the wire should be showing. The story of this photo to me is that he's/she is looking at the wire and it's making him/her sad. With or with out the wire, this is a great photo.
