A very good portrait of this gorilla. I like the detail and texture in the face, and the way you framed it with vegetation. The out of focus vegetation below the face is somewhat distracting, but overall a good job.

Very nice capture. Very few people ever get the chance to get this close to a wild Gorilla.

The framing with the vegetation adds a nice sense of secrecy to the image. Love the eye contact and details in the face. Compelling portrait.

IMO the greenery makes this beautiful portrait stand out. The expression you captured is very nice.
