Choose a Caption

[Ken Watkins]

Given my current position I thought this image may be apt.

As you can see it can be quite dark in the "Jungle", not only that but it is bit difficult doing all that walking uphill for an "old man" like me, and you have to wear a mask.

I do not think I have posted this before but I am unable to acess my "home page"
Sorry if I have

I can think of a few captions here Ken, but most would get me into trouble here.
Love the posture and gesture on this senior gent, with good detail, just wondering what have you done in PP to the BG?

Marc,

Yes the BG is terrible but I quite like the Chimp, please do not get into trouble on my account

[Rachel Hollander]

Ken - great pose. I'm not sure about a caption but for some reason it reminds me of Marlon Brando in the Godfather (I think it has to do with the position of the arm). So my suggestion is the Godfather. There's a greenish cast on the side of the face and the chest. I'm not sure if this is natural or should be corrected.

TFS,
Rachel

[Ken Watkins]

Rachel,

I have confess to have never seen the Godfather, so I cannot really comment on your suggestion

The image is not great you should have seen it before I started. I believe the Chimps gesture may mean different things to different people

[Jay Gould]

Ken, I believe the Chimp is hitch hiking --

Look at the left hand; you can even take some literary and choose to see the one colored leaf as a thumb.

The caption: Goin' My Way?


By the way, what don't I know? "Given my current position..."?

[Morkel Erasmus]

nice old chap here Ken! I suggest you watch the Godfather, all 3...excellent movies :) the title Rachel suggested is apt, especially because of the pose

maybe a line from the movie: "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse..." (with Marlon Brando's thick cheeks)

[Harshad Barve]

I have no suggestion for caption but lovely image , these are on my high wish list

I would dearly like to respond to you by PM but I cannot as my "services" have been withdrawn, apparently as a result of complaints, not that I have been told what they are or who they are from.

Thanks for all of your suggestions, all are far too polite
