The eyes and the expression struck me as almost human. Como Zoo in St. Paul, MN.

Adjusted levels, auto contrast, and cropped in Photoshop.

Hi Jeff, they really are a delightful animal and you have captured that expression brilliantly. I originate from Western Australia. The Perth zoo has the most successful orangutang breeding program in the world. Such a pity that a lovely animal such as this is being driven out of its natural habitat. TFS

Hello Jeff
Funny and nice plus sharp and good colors.
bye, Josine

Great capture! Good colors, looks like a tough shot by the highlights.

Tonight Eric and I were watching America's Funniest Home Videos, and saw an orangatuan picking his nose. Uncanny!

I'm glad you let us see the whole posture here...the way he/she is sitting. Also very human. He/She looks very depressed...as I suppose we would if locked into Como Zoo.
