He looks so ... human! ;-) Great shot; did you edit the background?
True_Bavarian (94 months ago | reply)
Thank you! Basically the background was a plain wall already... I just removed a few dirt spots, that's it.

Great shot! Do you work in a zoo?
True_Bavarian (94 months ago | reply)
One may think so... not yet, but when I continue to visit as frequently as I do, they will build a cage for me :)

Love it.

I like it a lot. You lose some points for the posterization in the background, but not a lot.

i like everything except the background, which is very bland and subtracts from the overall impact.

I dunno, I kinda like the studio-portrait look of the background. This reminds me of a dust-jacket photo of a very earnest author. Except it's a monkey! And everyone knows that monkeys doing human stuff are friggin' funny! So this is funny!
Save.
deepfruit (94 months ago | reply)
What's in its mouth, anyway? Looks like it's got a cheek full of Milk Duds or something. And why does everyone assume it's male?

Must be the military style haircut, that makes one think it must be a male... he had a carrot in his mouth :)
brodiemanlsu (94 months ago | reply)
i was going to ask about the mouth as well, great shot.

Part of me is happy because this is such a good picture.
But part of me is unhappy because this is such a good picture. No cheap amusement to be had at the expense of this image. Move on...
I couldn't help thinking how much prettier this guy is than George Bush though. I think it must be the haircut
