Oh, this is cool, cool, cool! Did I say this is COOL? First off, I think your choice to use black and white is ideal for this. It seems that so often, color just kind of gets in the way. Secondly, it appears the old boy is in a habitat that fits. Third, I don't see how the focus, clarity, or cropping could be improved upon. Last, darned if I know what is that LOOK! Excellent work, and of course I'm out of the goodie ratings. I am sorry, because this deserves better. Thank you for sharing. God bless, Lynnieellie

Well, this is a fantastic shot. How did you take it and where were you. She looks old and tired, but beautiful. Magnificent creation.

Another gorilla in the Black and White contest. She has a sort of quizzical look to her as if trying to figure out what the photographer is doing! Excellent portrait photo of this magnificent beast. Good luck in the contest.

Laughing out loud - if this does not look and resemble a human being - then I don't know what else does for lack of a better analogy. Lots of folks act like baboons on a daily basis. lol
Thanks for sharing it.
