I've always thought that zoo shots if they don't have natural surroundings like Singapore Zoo, should be more like portraits, with the background blown right out so you can't see metal bars, or ropes, cages etc. That way the focus is on the animal, not the distractions around it. As it is, with that background I just feel sorry for the chimp.Maybe darkening out the background and leaving the lighter exposure on the chimp?</blockquote>
