ToddC,

Aren't those gang signs for "Step off?" With the eyes dark and unseen, he looks menacing, or at least intimidating. Probably a she and is neither menacing nor intimidating. Well shot, either way. Placement in frame is more interesting than centering would be.

Funny you said that jiminy, I first thought it looked like surgeon after scrubbing up waiting for the nurse to help put the gloves one....funny how we see the same things differently!
Great shot again Todd many more of these and we're going to think you own a gorilla!
I also love the shadow from its brow!

I wish its eyes were more visible but other than that a really great shot. The background really makes this maginficent animal really stand out. Kudos to you for this!

Nice shot Todd. I also like the off center placement. And the square crop works very well too.
