Description I found his expression to be very powerful, yet somehow gentle....

This is a fabulous piece because its like looking into the face of a wise old man. His face weathered by time and life. Makes you realize just how human they are.

I think black & white works best here ... it seems to convey his expressive face much better. Great shot.

Makes me think of Satchel Paige saying (I think it was him) Don't look back - they may be gaining on us! These guys are looking awfully familiar. I love the bonobos. They are the only ones closer to use than chimps - so adorable but you never see them in zoo because of their *enlightened* attitudes about sex! They won't behave in front of the public! (I have a link if you are interested.)

It such a feeling to have them you look at you straight in the eye. This guy was acually staring at the crowd with such curiosity... it was great!
