Bygone days

I found the pose interesting. Thanks for viewing.

The eyes!  The hallmark of a portrait and haunting in their intensity.  Fantastic shot... Mike

Excellent composure and expression.

Best regards

You have been able to catch the great expression of sadness of this primate in captivity, B&W enhance the image, ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you very much for your comments.

Mike: Thank you for pointing out the most important aspect of the image. I used some dodging over the eyes to brighten them up.

 

Chris: Thank you for commenting on the expression. I took may be 10 photos of this gentleman and this one evidently was the most striking.

 

Pierre: Thank you for your compliment. Very warm regards to you too.

 

Giangiorgio: I have seen your portfolio and being the animal lover you are, I am sure you will be able to uniquely appreciate this image. Many thanks for your comment.
