M-
soon as I saw the project show up, and saw that Phil re-worked his Lion image, I went back to the Zoo. It was nice to see those images, that I thought I picked to death.. and then to stumble on the two ducks, and this harmonious image of my favorite ape. ..and had to be.
thanks for the comments M!

Fantastic portrait (no I won't say anything about the sim... oops I almost did... LOL)!!! Great in B&W, wonderful tones, DOF and (com)position of this Gorilla. He looks like his pondering or 'pining over the fjords'... ehh wrong animal/country/scenery... jungle I mean... excellent capture and well deserved BIP!!!

yes Petal.. he's just like us... pining over the fjords. Or he's wondering why I didn't frame down a little more. ;)

This is very crisp and the moment is great. To improve the composition, I cropped a little off the right so the ape is not so centered. I am hoping that you turned the camera vertical at some point and got more of the body. A close vertical portrait would be cool too.

Thanks Jim!
I wanted to not confine him too much, and went with the angle of his arm to give it a centered triangle shape. I also didn't want it to look too different from the surrounding images from the series.
Don't know if you looked at my other images in the series, but no long vertical shots.. the apes were very tired that day! ..it was freakin HOT!
thanks for the suggestions!
cheers,

Joel,
Well done, and an award well deserved!
The range of tones here are perfection. The DOF and how it drops right off of the ape's right leg real keeps you with the ape and within its thoughts.
I have always been drawn to apes, and probably/foolishly would scale a wall at a zoo to be with them; look for me on the news some day :)
Once again, beautiful photograph!
Cheers,
Johnny
