A portrait that seems perfect in every way. You have truly captured the connection that was made between photographer and subject.

  What a fantastic animal portrait, Chris! I don't think it could be any more perfect than what this one is! 😊

  Wonderful Portrait. Have heard nothing but GOOD THINGS about the Doorly Zoo . Unfortunately have passed it twice and could not stop.

  Nicely composed and well lit - I really like the way it appears to be backlit, making the details of its fur stand out.

  Thank you all very much! I highly recommend the Doorly Zoo if you're ever in the area; the "jungle house" where I photographed this langur is pretty nifty to walk through. Thanks to Nikki McDonald for taking me there!

  Simply have to make this my favorite of your December entries and not just because it brings back memories of a great BP shoot and weekend. This is, as Michelle and Becky have said and others have indicated, perfection. I'm pretty pleased with some of my monkey shots from that space, but I have nothing like this. Wonderful.

  Thank you, Martha & Nikki!
Nikki, what is so surprising with this one, is it was captured on my least-favorite lens! I was so glad you could use tripods in there, and that this particular langur was not in a rush to get anywhere... Thanks again for a fun, memorable outing!

  Thank you very much, Sylvia - I was delighted with how it turned out, being in a zoo! I whole-heartedly recommend the Doorly Zoo if you're ever in that area.
