THIS striking image of orang-utan Rajang has led to its student photographer being awarded a national photography prize.
Sarah Kilshaw, 18, a conservation student at Writtle College, came top place in both the 'Last Chance to See?' and 'Judge's Choice' categories in the Zoological Society of London Animal Photography Prize 2014.
Her black and white shot will now appear on merchandise, and in an exhibition at London Zoo.
Sarah said: "When I took the image I was on an environmental studies school trip with my sixth form but I was able to do quite a lot of photography in between going to seminars.
"Once I'd got to the orangutan enclosure I couldn't help but smile as Rajang was where he always is – looking out and connecting with the young people on the other side of the glass."
