Touched
This friendly chimpanzee offered a friend of mine a hand shake during a visit to the Mendoza zoo in Argentina. I wouldnt recommend shaking hands with chimps though, I believe they are quite strong and could hurt you if they were so inclined. Still, my friend’s folly (thanks Nigel) was my gain in the end. This is one of my favorite images. Hope you like it. Hope it moves you.

The gentleness of it is touching. I can see the strength though.

Magic. I don’t think this guy is thinking harm, more like contact. Very emotive piece Stephen.
