What a lovely set from your vacation Leana. That is such a great portrait of a wonderful beast and your friend has a lovely smile and a lovely photograph. I love the way you have framed the lovely yellow flower and a lovely burst of colour with the flags. This is lovely work Leoana and so well presented.

Dave.

Oh Leonna, these are fantastic! The gorilla shot is magnificent, and the flower is beautiful. I hope you have more to share.

No surprise that the first one is an attention grabber, it's outstanding, but all four are high quality, well composed and well presented, good job Leona, safe journey to you both
