Beauty and the beast, a photo from Chon Buri, East

Photographer's Note

This was taken in near the Orchid garden at Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden in Chonburi province. This Orangutan was available for taking photograph just for 200 Baht. When I saw this girl taking photograph with Orangutan the title flashed inside my brain. I hope she did not mind taking her photograph.

Hi,
It would be almost a cliched shot.... but the two subjects are not looking at you, and this is make the shot funny and interesting! It's a very spontaneus hug, full of tenderness... that we can see from the eyes of the girl and of the monkey! You've captured a sweet and joyful moment.
Good pov and composition... and perfect title!
Chiara

Hi Lopshang, The girl probably did not mine having her photo taking but did the Orangutan?, a magnificent animal like this should not be taken advantage of like this &, let out into the wild to have a free & full life, it's only us humans that treat animals so cruelly &, this is just another example of that, I do agree, what a beauty, OH & the girls good looking also, kind regards Wilson.

Hello Lopshang,
Seems like the furry fellow has developed a special way with pretty girls!
A well composed image with good details, it is easy to see your're not the "main" photographer here, judged by their direction of vision...
Greetings,
