"Gorilla in Our Mist"

10-4-09 - This Beautiful Silver Back Gorilla came up to the plexi glass enclosure to see what I was doing while at the Bronx Zoo which gave me the opportunity to shoot this great portrait of her just before she left to go play with her baby. What an incredible & beautiful animal up close and to experience nature so close up is a wonderful feeling and to know your SAFE with 2" of plexi glass between you is also comforting LOL Since she could probably tear you apart in a matter of seconds.

* PP consisted of minor Level & Curve adjustments and then I used Silver Efex's for the B&W conversion. * Best viewed XL *

Have a Great Week Everyone
PS: I like this shot so much I had it printed on a 16" x 20" to frame on my own wall !
