Mention honorable dans la catégorie « Photographie Animalière »

In this close-up portrait, a young orangutan meets the lens with a direct, unguarded gaze. Rendered in black and white, the image removes the distraction of color to focus on what remains essential: light, texture, and expression. The gleam in the eyes becomes the anchor of the frame - bright, curious, and quietly communicative. Fine strands of hair, soft yet unruly, trace the contours of a face still marked by innocence. Every detail is revealed through contrast: shadow shaping form, highlights breathing life into the eyes.
