The boredom of captivity Photo

Photographer’s Note

Shot at Phoenix zoo. He/she was just sitting there contemplating a stick in hand. I think this might be a Hamadryas baboon but I'm not sure. Shot through glass.

3. I want a banana in sxchange for a stick
4. Can I make fire with this?

Hey, cool shot. I always feel sorry for the monkeys and other animals living at a zoo, they are just stuck there all day long with nothing to do. Very nice shot capturing that poor baboon's boredom.

You captured his boredom very well.I like his hairdo . He must failed like he's living in jail . The photograph is too light for me so I did a workshop .

Hi Carlo, Very good zoo photo. Your note and the comments of others makes this an interesting scene. Maybe time to visit the local Taronga Zoo here one day soon. Thanks for the inspiration. Murray.
