Blowing a Kiss

[D. Robert Franz]

Another image from Lueser N.P. in Sumatra.. This orangutan seems to be blowing a kiss to me.

Very precious moment captured, thanks for the smile. There is an interesting typo in your description :)

Thanks Axel for catching that. The text is so small in the comment box I make lots of typos.....

I know, sometimes when I revisit a thread I notice quite a few typos in my comments, too. :)

A great wildlife image Robert, and a little different. I hope you blew him a kiss back after such a stunning pose!

Would have loved to gone back and gave this orang a big kiss after this image won the 2004 Natures Best Contest.....:D

Great shot! Really like the comp and the colors.

Hey I missed the TYPO.:D

I love the composition, the expression of the orangutan and his posture. I think a bit of room off the right will help to strengthen the image. That one vertical stalk to the right of the O is bothersome and could be cloned.

Very well done.

What a pose! I see why this was a winner.
