An awesome portrait of this handsome fellow!  I feel that the developed chest muscles really add to the intimidating feeling of the image.  Excellent work!

Amazing detail in this portrait. Very well shot. I am surprised by the focal length used to capture this image. I would be nervous being that close to a wild Gorilla.
Thanks for looking,

Great soft light and pose captured. Thanks for shooting this as a vertical ! Shows off his strong pecs and strong body frame nicely.
