~•~•~•~
Silverback Gorilla
Buffalo Zoo
Nikkor 18-200 VR @ 40mm. Handheld through window.
1/125th f6.7 ISO 400 EV +2
*flood filter added*
On this day at the zoo, there were very few visitors. I had almost an hour, along with a zoo docent, practically alone, at the gorilla exhibit. The gorillas were aware of my presence, and would glance toward me occasionally. This Silverback, however, followed me with his eyes, as I passed from window to window. At times, he would cover his face with one hand, then peek to see if I was still there. As he lay on the concrete, cradling himself with his arms, he reminded me of an old man, cold and lonely.
His eyes and overall expression, drew me into his world.
Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.

  Lisa, this thought-provoking portrait really makes one wonder how much the gorilla comprehends about where he is, etc.
Very creative use of the flood filter, with an excellent double-meaning title.

  THANK YOU for such compliments, Kaitlin! Actually, since getting my camera in October of 2006, I've been to the zoo twice. But snapped a lot of pics, as not many other visitors were there. Regarding selling my pics... I'm gonna have to learn how to do that... Maybe a resolution for 2008!
Happy New Year, Kaitlin!
Blessings, Lisa

  A fine image Lisa. I would venture to say it's the most unique in "captivity" photo I've seen in a good long while. It has a sense of sadness for me...

  Lisa,
I agree with your assessment of his mood!
Great shot....always mixed feeling toward animals in a zoo, but it could be far worse.
thanks for showing us!
