Chimpanzee | Contemplation | Wild Animal Art in Black and White
Winner | Wildlife Photographer of the Year
Animal Portraits 2017
“This male chimp came down from the canopy to the forest floor with one motive. Desire. A young female chimpanzee is above him in the canopy. Totti is doing his best to entice her away from other males. He poses and gestures and calls in every seductive way possible. But alas to no avail. His advances go unnoticed. The female chimpanzee ignores him. Totti the wannabe alpha male chimpanzee. Lies back with hands behind his head and dreams of what could have been”
