Hi Shirley and welcome .. that is indeed a great photo of this magnificent specie .. I think you get more people looking at your post if it was an image rather than a link ..

I think your oicture would benefit from a tighter crop ath the 2/3 from the bottom. The upper part is overblown and does not really contribute much to the composition.
Thanks for sharing this magnificent exemplar.

Nice job, Shirley! The way the gorilla has his arm and hand out by his knee looks like he's meditating.

Nice Capture, where was this taken? He is a handsome silverback and I like what Mike said, looks like he just got done doing his morning Meditation.
You will get more hits if you post the picture rather than a link though.
Thanks for Sharing this
Michael.
