[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The gorilla, the largest of the living primates, is a ground-dwelling omnivore that inhabits the forests of Africa. Gorillas are divided into two species and (still under debate as of 2007) either four or five subspecies. Its DNA is 97%–98% identical to that of a human,[3][4] and is the next closest living relative to humans after the two chimpanzee species.

you really could catch the expression of this smart primates, the black and white medium highlight his/her face line, excellent POV

coucou robi
superbe regard expressif, beau contraste, tu ne fais pas souvent de N&B, celui ci est magnifique,
juste une petite chose, si tu avais recadré un peu plus, car le mur sur le haut de sa tête est inutile je pense, mais c'est un avis perso ;)
très bonne soirée à toi
amitiés Nad

Hi Robi, I like the expressive face of this fellow VERY much. You have succeeded in what every photographer strives for primarily - "To capture the life essence".

Good work, TFS, Regards, Kiran

Beautiful look in the eyes of the primate as if he would like to tell you somthing.

salut Robi,
voici un sujet marquant quant on a la chance de saisir un de ces regards qui en disent long. Le choix de n&b est original et donne une impression d'image ancienne, les détails sont bons, sauf sur le nez.

Hi Robi.
Excellent portrait of the amazing animal and so exact title. True masterpiece of portrait photography. Bravo. I also like B/W colour tones. They concentrate the attention on the main subject – state of the mood of this attractive creature. My congratulations and TFS.

Hola Robi,

Hello Robi,

This is something I don't see very often. A black and white portrait of an animal. It's amazing how closely it resembles a human. I can see curiosity or interest in his eyes. You captured this expression very well. The composition is great and the light creates interesting shadows on the Gorilla's face. Very good conversion to black and white! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

Truly a wonderful portrait!
