Thanks Beach, I am so happy you liked these. The apes were a favorite. Especially the momma and her young one.

Yep, the leaf is kind of a distraction but, it was unavoidable and I didn't want to clone it out. I'm not sure what you meat by the last part but, thank you for looking and I always appreciate the comments, one way or another.

LOL, ya know, he may have been thinking exactly that. Or, why are all all these humans looking at me? Thanks Buddy, I appreciate the kind words.

Great shots! While I was in Melbourne I got to visit the zoo there. I took some photos of the gorillas and I only noticed when I got the pics put on my computer, one of the poor fellas was missing a hand! I was wondering why he seemed to keep it up close to his chest while moving around.
