Description

Okie is a 22 year old gorilla at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Ma.
This is the second time I have been to this Zoo and both times Okie poses and struts and keeps looking and turning away from me and then gets close to the glass and body slams against it. I thought I was upsetting him but the keeper said he must like me and is showing off! I was amazed!

The story was such a fun read and I am so glad he gave you this power and nobility type shot. Gorgeous, his strength shows through. His features, both facial and body are incredible and beautiful. I do not think you could ask for a better pose and as always you took full advantage and got one amazing work of beauty. A favorite. #11422226

Outstanding capture Kathy, I just love the way that he seems to be looking at you out of the corner of his eye. #11422356
