Baby orangutan enjoying a banana. Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, Sabah.

This photo tested the limits of my camera. In the jungle there is hardly any light and these babies did not stop moving. This is one that wss successful from many blurred images.

Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!

I'd say it is a rather good shot. I know how difficult these guys can be to shoot. I had similar difficulties shooting howler monkeys in Costa Rica. I'll post a couple of those shots in a couple of weeks.
