Hallo Ferran
This scene captured here is to me one of those which proofs just once again that when Mother Nature is in operation, all else stands still. This little fellow has got lovely big eyes and it looks as if he had a haircut with a blunt scissors. The expression on the mothers face shows signs of patience and pride for having her youngster so close to her. Thanks for sharing this delightful image despite the weather conditions. It is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Ferran,
It must be fantastic to experience the Mountain Gorillas in their natural environment and you seem to have been so close!! Excellent capture of this mother hugging her child. I love the expression on their faces and the fine details you managed to get in spite of difficult conditions. Your excitement is well illustrated in the workshop! Great!
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hola Ferran,
You are a lucky man to have been able to see the Mountain Gorilla in its threatened habitat.
This is a charming close portrait of a mother and child taken with fine sharpness and lighting. The foto of you at work in that habitat in the WS is nice to see too.
TFS this fine contribution,
Un abrazo

Hello Ferran,
I know this is a great experience to be there. I was in 2001 in Bwindi in Uganda at these Mountain Gorillas. I shall never forget this moment.
This is a fantastic photo with a lovely expression on the faces. Great natural colours and excellent sharp details in a very good composition.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Ferran,

I wonder how many others besides me are green with envy. How marvelous to see these wonderful gorillas in their natural habitat. This is the most beautiful portrait of mother and child. The love between them is as obvious as between a human parent and offspring. The eyes are unbelievable. Excellent natural colors and fine details of the faces and fur. A beautiful setting and composition and something to treasure forever.

Ciao Ferran,
meravigliosa immagine di questi Gorilla, splendido il momento catturato in una bellissima composizione con eccellenti dettagli, ottima la resa delle tonalità dei colori e la qualità complessiva con un eccellente lavoro a 1600 ISO (considerato tempo e diaframma la luce era proibitiva: complimenti).
TFS.

Magnífic treball. Les condicions de llum podien ser justes, però no es nota, gairebé tot el contrari.
No sé a quina distància vas fer la foto, pero l'enfocament sense ser perfecte és sobrat.

Un conjunt amb molta força , destacant aquest ull tan ben plasmats. Un gran document que pocs poden mostrar: enhorabona !!

Ignasi.

Espero que hagi sigut bo el dinar a Juneda.

Hello Ferran,
Wonderful expressions...photographed at a precise moment.
Very difficult conditions indeed but still quality.
Awesome eyes and a great communication between the animals and you apparently. Must have been some kind of meeting in Rwanda.

Hello Ferran,

Perfect timing. With all the nudity in the tranquility and depth view of the square reflected. Trust and compassion we need to see a small gorilla, a mother gorilla in self-confidence appears to provide. In terms of image quality and the integrity of photographic composition is very successful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment you view.

Best Regards,
Mehmet

This is one of my dreams to go and photograph Gorillas in Rwanda!I like your tight composition showing good family unity. The eye contact is amazing with the catchlight in the eye. You are so fortunate to have been there and got these photos as memories.
