Very nicely done B&W portrait photograph of an Gorilla. Well balanced and great detail. Overall, a well done image of a confused looking Gorilla.

What a wonderful shot BFF. I am so glad you reposted this one.
Your black and white rendering of this Gorilla was exactly what was needed to make a dramatic impact.
That enigmatic smile and facial look tells so may stories and makes one wonder what may be going through the mind.
Great details in the fur with the background blurred just enough to bring out the drama in this deep thinker.
Great work my dear BFF ~ BFF

Your choice of black and white works well along with a good tonal range. I think you did a good job of capture a candid shot of the gorilla. I like how well you captured the eyes and the wonderful expression. Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details. Your diffused background compliments your work. Beautiful work and thanks for sharing.

Good clarity and focus. Great composition. Well done!

Eileen,
A beautiful portrait of this beautiful Gorilla watching you with a curious smile on her face as she tries to read your thoughts. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques in the change to black and white your sharp focus shows the finest details of it's untidy fur.

I like how well the texture of the fur stands out in this image. It has a crisp sharpness to it and the expression is pretty cool. The background softness in this one is very attractive too.
