This is a Bornean Orangutan, also known as Pongo pygmaeus. He is rather old and no longer so agile as he used to be but I observed that the family still respected him - made way for him when he passed etc.

Very impressive shot of this beauty. Is he shy?

It is like many of the elders in all walks of life Raj. Hopefully it is respect and not toleration. I think with a little editing you could have really made his face stand out. It is a great shot and has even more potential.

A pretty face is fine but what a farmer needs is a woman that can carry a pig under each arm
Raj - I see a pensive, almost sad look on this old guy's face. He might need a heavy dose of moisture cream on his face and hands, however (;-)). Terrific composition. Thad

Very nice profile of him, such a sad look you captured.

What's my Uncle Dennis doing in your gallery Raj ?

What a face. He is, no doubt, a great grandfather. Human children could take a lesson in respecting their elders from your observation too.

WHAT WIKILEAKS REVEALED Protect freedom of speech and don't let them lie to us anymore.
I'd make way for him as well. Sheesh, what a brute. Good capture.

I agreewith Pat - I would be making way for him as well- he looks as though he is used to being obeyed.
He is a fine looking creature and seems to have a lot hidden behind those wise eyes.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Old and wise he looks like.. wonderful portrait of this beautiful animal! Mich

MERRY CHRISTMAS
It's a remarkably well done portrait. The lighting, the composition, his posture, the expression - top marks for all of it.

I wouldn't want to mess with him even if he IS old. I bet he packs quite a punch, still. Very nice color and clarity, Raj.
