[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken on a Gorilla trek in north-western Rwanda. It was quite amazing to hang out near these guys and watch them for an hour. Well worth the trip.

That is a great picture. Such interesting looking animals and a good expression on its face. It must be amazing to see them up close in their natural habitat. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this great shot. Portrain shots like this one emphasise how close we are to these amazing creatures that are in danger of going extinct.

Hi Alex. Good luck to him and his kind. Hopefully they will be around for years to come. What a loss if they disappear. Insightful photo. Regards. Klaudio.

Excellent photo of King Kong!
We almost can feel the presence of this extraordinary Gorilla.
