Clinging to Mom


	Clinging to Mom Gorillas at the Cincinnati Zoo. Young Cecil was clinging to his mother out of fear - due to the loud screaming and taunting by some extremely rude visitors. 300 mm zoom lens, tripod, 400 speed film, overcast day. Marie Fields

Paul Michko

Great capture, Marie. Shame on those visitors.

Great shot Marie (and nice capture of the mother's face)! I agree with Paul re the visitors.

Thanks, Paul and Rob! I agree as well! I get so angry when zoo visitors show such a lack of respect for the animals! If it's just delighted squeals of children, it doesn't bother the gorillas - but in this case, the "kids" were way too old and their voices too deep to be yelling at animals! It really upset Muke and Cecil.

Thanks again for your support!

Excellent photo, Marie.
Too bad it came at the expense of fear to get it.

Too bad Muke couldn't get to them and teach them a thing or two! Great capture, Marie!

Beautiful image, Marie. I guess the only real question is "Which ones ARE the animals?"
Very well done!

Great image, Marie. As Bill said, it's too bad it was a result of fear. I hope those people were ejected from the zoo.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it, as to who should be behind the walls. Congratulations, Marie ... nicely done!
