[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Although not native in Holland I had chance to see this fellow in the Zoo in Blijdorp, Rotterdam. I like the peacefullness that speaks from this image, although I doubt if he wouldn't rather be set free again.

What a beautiful and intersting portrait for this gorilla that you have well captured. I like its quiet expression. Exposure and sharpness are very good.
Thanks for sharing Mike

Mooi gekaderd en goede kleuren. Zijn blik is fantastisch.

Excellent potrait shot Mike, great sharpness, details and clarity, nice DOF too! Thanks for sharing

Very nice shot Mike,
Very good exposure, nicely composed, good colours and well detailed. The BG, even though unnatural, does look very good with this image.
The framing is well done.
Very well captured, thanks for posting

Excellent portrait. Great expression. Well contrasted against the two-toned BG.
Regards Toni

Excellent close up of the gorilla. I like the sharpness on the eyes. I feel the shot emits a lot of emotion. Well done.

Question about this picture, what is the source of the light ? ... Sun, tungsten fluo ??

nice pictures .....

Hallo Mike, geweldige foto, mooie gelaatsuitdrukking.
Ik neem aan dat hij achter glas zit? Kortom zeer knap gedaan.

groet Harry

Wonderful picture!!!..... HUMMMMMMM.....I think he is plotting to kidnap you and hold you hostage for a ransom; an airplane to his native jungle and lots of banans!!!!

Excellent capture Mike. I cann't see how I missed this one but sometimes you simply don't have the time to browse through 10 sides of new pictures;-(.

I love this wonderful pose. Very good and natural colours. Excellent sharpness/dof with lot of details in the fur. Perfect composition with the gorilla looking into the frame. All over a second to non picture - hats off.
