Orangutan in The Rain by Andrew Suryono, Indonesia, Nature and Wildlife Category, Open Competition: "I was taking pictures of some orangutans in Bali and then it started to rain. Just before I put my camera away, I saw this orangutan took a banana leaf and put it on top on his head to protect himself from the rain. I immediately used my DSLR and telephoto lens to preserve this magic moment."Andrew Suryono, 2015 Sony World Photography Awards
