Sadness

I didn't get many photos of animals that I was happy with when we went to the Bronx Zoo.
I did think this one was worth sharing.
His hand and his eyes really got to me.
Some of my other animal photos I will be posting in my Just For Fun gallery.
The effects help with softening fence lines and dirty glass!

C’est une superbe photo mais quel tristesse dans Le regard de ce singe.

A very nice portrait nice sharp delivery his look he might be wondering what you were up to pointing the camera at him bet he had it figured out before you left they are pretty smart. Love his eyes and beautiful coloring. Vote

Incredibly soulful. What a painful destiny for this beautiful creature of the wild.

Such a sad face, and beautifully photographed. Probably safe in the zoo.

It does look sad as if it is begging you to help it escape.

His hair is wonderful but the eyes are heartbreaking. V

I find this unbearably sad; I am no fan of zoos, though I know some do good conservation work. You captured a heartbreaking image here. VV

A powerful portrait. What a look he is giving you. "V"

Apostolos Tikopoulos		15-May-2021 17:29
Excellent portrait of this beautiful guy. V.

Don Mottershead		15-May-2021 17:02
Powerful. I wish it could be free.

I am very much conflicted about zoos. Photos like this push me in the direction that all zoos should be closed and the animals relocated in nature preserves. Excellent image, it makes one think. VV

Julie Oldfield		15-May-2021 15:40
Heartbreaking. I can see the sadness in his eyes. V

a riveting image, partially because of its quality, precise framing and taken at a touching moment, and also because of that pleading 'I want to go home' expression...V

Tom Beech		15-May-2021 14:49
The reason I have problems going to a zoo... but great photo

Neil Marcus		15-May-2021 14:17
This one "gets me". I hope that it wasn't as sad that it appears.. We relate to the human factor. Big vote". Worth the trip to the Bronx

Nick Paoni		15-May-2021 14:14
So well seen and captured. Your message comes through loud and clear and that is the highest complement I can give.

John Hamers		15-May-2021 13:40
Outstanding portrait, very nice how you framed his eyes. V!

marie-jose wolff		15-May-2021 13:36
this little animal looks very sad behind the fence!

Carl Carbone		15-May-2021 13:34
Oh my. A beautiful, but sad portrait. Excellent work.

joseantonio		15-May-2021 13:10
such a lovely capture of this beauty.V

Helen Betts		15-May-2021 13:08
Beautiful capture of this sad looking animal. I would be too if I had to live behind that fence. V.

This is a heart rending and sympathetic portrait. I feel that the fence really adds to this sad feeling. V
