Hey Ben … love this shot! He looks very uninterested …
He was a very interesting subject as he was obsessed with the corner of the exposure. all the other monkeys were running around and he was just looking past everyone looking at him. This picture really does show what i dislike about zoo’s but also I understand why some animals are kept in zoos especially when they are endangered. It is a catch 22 situation.
Awesome. SAD…..POignant
He does look a bit sad, his eyes say more than I ever could. Thanks ks or taking time to comment Rajiv.
How did you get so close to a monkey ?
Hi Yan, he is behind some glass in the zoo, I was using my short zoom lens and zoomed in close.
Aww what a little face. 🙂
kind of sad too if you think about it 😦
It is sad in a way because I know he wants to be running free. They keep them indoors during the winter as it is too cold for them outside but in the summer they do open the doors to an outside area where they have more room to run around.
Yesss….I felt that from his expression that he wanted to be free. It’s good they care for him though and don’t let him get frost bite! He’s so cute.
Ben you caught the most poignant moment for this dear creature, and if we could read his thoughts of being caged for human eyes to look at – well don’t you wonder? One of the reasons I can’t go to zoo’s ~
I just love the expression in it’s eyes. Such a sad look. Well captured. I think it reflects just what mankind are doing to our animal life on earth.
Hi Raewyn, his eyes speak so much and they cut so deep. I agree with you Raewyn.
I don’t know whether to smile or be sad for this beguiling fellow, Ben, which is what makes this, in my mind, a superb image.
For me the picture cuts me two ways; one makes me sad because of his eyes, but on the other hand his expression is quite cute that you do want to smile that he is safe.
Exactly, Ben!
…my goodness – this picture makes you want to grab and hug that poor little monkey… He seems to be sad 😦 Beautiful shot ❤
It is interesting as there are a few pictures of monkeys from here where they have the same expression. It does bring up an interesting topic; are we doing more harm than good.
Were they in a cage or so? Or were these wild ones?
