Very nice photo, great bokeh and composition. It's a shame he/she wasn't facing the camera. I find the image a bit washed out and lacking contrast...or is it just my monitor?

Great composition, great control of focus, and most uncaracteristic of zoo shots. But then it's Whipsnade - must get down there!

A lot of symbolism in this image. Arms open to welcome the sun to rejuvinate for another day.
