Hello James,
Wow! Spectacular picture of this silverback with a great pose and great face expression... I like the green surrounding and enhancing the gorilla... The back seems a little bit OE but I agree that it is very difficult to manage the exposition against that black and white..
Good picture and TFS,
Michel

Tremendous shot here...really quite impressive. It's really a wonderful shot, and as you say...he's not looking aggressive at all...but actually appearing a little "cute", if I might say. He's spectacular and the way you've photographed him with this tuff of grass in front of him is really well done. Very sad that such a magnificent creature has suffered so...and what an honor and moment for you to witness him like this.

Hi James,
This is an very impressive shot of this silverback. Very good composition and pov. I like the pose he is standing in.
Maybe you have seen on the news that one of these silverback escaped in Holland in a zoo and attacked a woman. You can understand that this was a shock for all the visitors of the zoo.

Hello James
What an absolutely excellent photo, of such a fantastic subject.
I am so amazed at this result that you got.
I am sure the moment was worth a thousand times what you paid.
I am off to the Cameroon in April to work at the Mefoua Gorilla Sanctuary and Orphanage there.
I doubt very much that I will be meeting such a fine specimen as you have shown to us here, but maybe one day, I will.
Excellent note and a brilliant photo.
Thanks very much.
Regards
Roy
