Excuse that terrible title, but I'm not sure if your a chimp or a Bonobo...

@dj.tigersprout: He does have that expression. I have a few more shots of his different expressions which I'll post at some future date.

I love these past few photos, Richard. The expressions you've captured and the captions with them do a great job at anthropomorphizing these beauties!

Very striking portrait. You timed the photo just right for an expressive face.

I love DJ's comment and laughed when I read it as my first impression was "wow what an expression"... it does look like he/her was just scolded! A classic image Richard.

@alex centrella: It was very difficult as the shot was through very scratched and reflective glass, which meant hard work in Photoshop getting it right (this was one of the most challenging Photoshop jobs I've had to do in ages)

Someone needs a haircut! I was gonna write: "Is this a self portrait?" but i decided not to do so.

@Rags: Ha ha....but I'm not nearly so handsome, and my haircut is much worse...LOL

@Anthony: Thanks. I have to agree, the chimps were being watched by a group of their more primitive neigbours....... (my family that is, especially me...)
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
