20050505 / Soul Man

San Diego Zoo

It's probably a little too much anthropomorphizing on my
part, but you can stare at these fellows for hours and
swear they have every bit as much on their mind as you do
on yours.

Then again, maybe their intelligence comes from keeping a lot
less on their plate than we do. I bet this dude can surf.

Nikon D70
1/160s f/5.6 at 300.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

He looks almost like a beach bum! A bit hairy perhaps. Great shot in how you captured his expression. I know they amaze me every time when I go to a zoo. Very nice caption, love the angle and the pose you caught here.

He looks like I feel at the end of the week! Is that an IPOD in his ear?....just kidding

No such thing as anthropomorphizing. They think just like we do, I am sure about that! Then again, maybe I am nuts! Good shot!

Cheers

Magnificent! Heavily pondering chap with attractive wispy locks and subtle expression.Lively background emeralds set this one off nicely :-)

The panda weren't so cooperative, Jess, but I took several shots at the National Zoo a few years ago.

He looks pretty wise. Almost a little smile on his face, like he knows something you don't.

Excellent contrast Chris. Great close up. And this green gives another perspective in the background.
