It is totally a good shot for me.
I like the way you capture the eye sight of the gorilla, seems like it has some kind of wisdom, something to think of.
Is there any challenge when you take this shot??
How many shot have you took to this strong gorilla??

Thanks Stephen,
It wasn't too difficult to get this shot. Even at a zoo, you need a long lens. I used a 70-200mm for this shot. Gorillas are generally very shy and like to their privacy.

I took around 30 shots. This was the best one in this lot, but I'm working on the others.

Thanks for the feedback.

ToddC,

Best since "Flamingo-New." At least on Flickr, so far. NatGeoMag quality.

Nothing to add really, just great shot. He was nice to pose so expressively for you.

As above, it's a great image with good PP.

I think this is a gorgeous photograph, however, I do find the colors a tad on the flat side. Do you mind if I adjust it in CS3 and show you the result? If you don't like it - the picture will be deleted completely.

Peach,
Yes, please go ahead and make any adjustments. I don't have CS3, but I do have CS2.

Thanks everyone for your comments...Todd
