Fortunately, because of my short-lived departure and subsequent return to UHH, I was reminded many times over that there are a huge number of talented and thoughtful people here! Those who give of their time unselfishly, encouraging others and participating in or creating value-based discussions.I was asking for help and wanting to improve my photography skills. I thought that was what the UHH wss about.
Bullies such as Pistnbroke don't share their photos and don't create discussion topics to teach/learn and have no clue how to offer constructive feedback. They can be difficult to ignore, but sometimes it helps to picture them naked and afraid in the jungle

Both animals are in focus. I would do a severe crop and even experiment with getting rid of most of the bars concentrating on the animals.

I was experimenting with things I have learned, like shooting through glass. Most of my shots were clear and I didn't understand the blurring, so I asked for some advice on what might have happened. Crowds and plexiglass offered some challenges. I did receive some good advice on what might have happened.

The OP was asking about the green blobs, not the photo. The ugly comments from the person in the UK were not only inappropriate but were off topic as well.
It's good that the vast majority of folks on the forum read the original posts and respond appropriately or NOT AT ALL.

Not relavent ..crap photo ..too many obstructions between you and the animal which is not looking a you.
Having a bad day?
It's "relevant", not "relevant."
It should be "looking at you" not "looking a you."
Hitting the "post" button before seeing your typos, is kinda like not seeing all the details in a scene before snapping the shutter.
And just because you did not care for the photo, does not make the OP's question "not relevant."
Yet -- despite your careless mistakes, impoliteness and lack of empathy for the OP, your entire post is not (necessarily) "crap." Your comments about obstructions and the animal facing away, are worth considering.

Yes, it was that simple. Thank you CPR

It's not uncommon to miss seeing close elements such as foliage or branches when your attention is on distant critters or birds. The good news for this shot is that a portrait-oriented crop will get rid of most of the "issue."

Chased by a large, hungry, irrelevant and non-photogenic carnivore...

As for the photograph..with people you can tell them how to stand and where to look with animals you must wait or change your position .The contrast between the little monkey at the bottom and the big one shows the point perfectly.
If you want better pictures put something better in front of the camera.

You totally misunderstand this. There are NEW students every year, sometimes every semester if it is a one semester class and if I had 5 classes of 10th grade World History that is five groups of NEW students each period, everyday, semester and year.
They do not somehow magically know what the last set of students knew.
It didn't happen, I taught a mix of classes but just an example: 5 periods of World History @ 30 per class=150 different students then do that for 10 years (I taught 35 years at Jr & Sr High aprx 10 different subjects) and you have 1500 different students each of whom needs to learn the same material and therefore ask variations of the same questions-over & over & over... And yes the same question may get asked by several students in the same class/period (someone might be absent and trying to catch up on what they missed - and do you think every 16 year old actually listens to every question asked by and answered for every other 16 year old?

Different reply to different things.

As for the photograph..with people you can tell them how to stand and where to look with animals you must wait or change your position. This is in a Zoo, through glass, no choice about positioning, maybe a few degrees right or left. And absolutely no choice about positions of objects in the picture. What you see is what you get. The contrast between the little monkey at the bottom and the big one shows the point perfectly. They aren't "little monkeys". They are Orangutans (great apes, not monkeys). Adults 3.5 feet to 4.5 feet tall and 100 to 250 lbs in weight. Smaller is for females and larger is for males.
If you want better pictures put something better in front of the camera. The OP stated his other pictures came out better and this one was posted to solve the mystery of what the "green blurs" were.

They are not "monkeys". These Orangutans, are primates, a completely different species, who are closer to us on the evolutionary scale then they are to monkeys. And if you had given these somewhat more constructive comments originally instead of the "crap" reference, perhaps you would not have received that barrage of negative responses.

In a perfect world, we would all just ignore the trolls, but since that never happens, we have to decide whether to continue hijacking the topic by offering support to the OP and criticizing the badly behaved (oh oh, and while I was typing, two more comments were posted!). I think some OP's appreciate, while others wish the whole topic would just go away.
At present there are many more talented and helpful folks on UHH than there are jerks; hopefully that trend will continue.
