Chimps are wild animals and can be very dangerous. This is a great illustration of that side of them. I wonder about cropping the bottom 1/4th or so (up to back of arm pit area) to further emphasize the dangerous aspect of the chimp?

Tough exposure, well handled. Great pose on the chimp with excellent detail. Very nice.

Hi Ken,
The eyes give away that he's not that angry! Nice pose. I would like to see a little more light in the eyes. Also it seems a bit on the warm side color wise.
Cheers,
Hisham.

Thanks everybody, I agree it could do with a little lightening, but do remember this was "ancient" technology 8.2 mp!

Dental care seems minimal...
That said it provides lots of interest for examination. Exposure looks good and only tweak I notice that you might try would be to selectively lower brightness on the diagonal out of focus stick beyond the head, just to minimize "eye pull" potential.

Lon,
It never ceases to amaze me how many animals have bad teeth
