This is just stunning from the frown on this Gorilla's face to the angle of your shot. Your clarity in this shots really add character to this portrait. Superbly shot with good eye clarity. Well focused with good exposure and incredible details. Your light and shadows are perfect and give us a glimpse into Barney's personality. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing. I love this one!

Eileen, this is such a beautiful shot of Barney. The full frame composition of his expressive face is just so compelling. The grasp of his foot really tells a nice story. Beautiful lighting and focus. The black background is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing Barney with us.

I like what you've done with this shot of the beautiful Barney at the zoo, posing holding his foot just for you and staring right at you. The black background makes him stand out perfectly. Excellent lighting and focus showing great detail. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Maybe he was indulging in a spot of yoga? Your fine composition grants us a very enjoyable look at Barney. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Comment from alaskapat
Strong emotional impact, Barny is absolutely beautiful, looking at him I get a sense that he is sad , he holds onto his foot to comfort himself, like a child holding their security blanket, very well photographed with perfect focus, the image is clear, beautiful details throughout , this shows the texture of his hair and skin, facial features and his sad eyes. Well controlled exposure, the steel grey color shows naturally. The black background allows a clear look without distractions and helps to establish the mood. Very well presented!
