Hi Joe,

I love to watch them too. I have a gorilla photo to post at some point that I captured in Orlando. He a big silver-back gorilla, and looked mean. I have a friend who looks like one, but I'm not talking about you.:)

Awesome DOF here, and clarity like a plasma TV.

I saw a documentary on gorillas once. A baby died, and the female gorilla carried it around for days. The most amazing thing I saw was a crock got a baby monkey of some type, and one of the adults jumped in the water beating the crock and actually saved the baby's life. ...cool stuff.

MAD good shot, Joe!
The light and contrast are perfect, beautiful clear color, great expression. She looks like a grandma watching a toddler. (Hmmm... LOL) They really are cool animals. Have you ever seen the video of the gorilla that carried the little boy to safety after he fell in one of their enclosures? Man, I cried.. :)) That's a great photograph. Many thanks and my very best wishes,
Shelly

Nice shot Joe - you've got the expression on the gorilla at the back just right - wondering what the heck the other one is up to!!

Nice colour too - we don't see too much lush green grass over here!!

PS - the rainbow shot of mine where you were asking why I desaturated everything but the rainbow was because it was the Friday theme 'partial desaturation' :-)

Hi Joe,
What a nice shot of these gorillas in such a harmonic ambient!
Very natural colors and what a pose of the mother!
The young one is a little bit distructed!
Vey sharp presentation adorned with marvelous lighting.
Best regards,
