Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from a zoo in India.

Time

This image was made during evening hours. The one image which makes me sad every time I see it!

Lighting

Natural lighting only.

Equipment

A Canon EOS 60D

Inspiration

I wanted to express how hard it is for a wild animal to be in a cage. This particular monkey is only a few weeks old, probably born in the zoo itself. Imagine how it's caged for life, deprived of the opportunity to develop and fulfill its needs and interests.They lose control over their lives and the habitat they live in, even without knowing it!

Editing

A bit of sharpening and noise reduction done in photoshop.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 60D, Nikon D750

Feedback

Social animals are often forced to live in the misery of solitary confinement! We should never be the reason for the evolution of a wild animal to a completely different caged inefficient species!
