[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some call it a mystical experience. I have a wealth of mixed feelings about my hour with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Vulcan National Park. The situation is/was not ideal for photography. Of course flash is not allowed, your fighting with bamboo and other jungle plants, standing on a slope, trying to stay at least 7 meters away, but no one tells the gorilla's to do the same :) I took 160 photos in that 1 hour, and I am not exptremely satisfied. Not about the photos, the experience is something noone can take away :) I have a few favorites, here's number 1.

Hi Jeroen!
Good shot, I like his expression a lot! It reminds me so much "Gorillas in the Mist".
Well done!
Regards, Anabela

SWEEEEEET!!!

Alleen jammer dat de omstandigheden niet ideaal zijn, ben erg benieuwd naar de rest van je foto's.

Cheers!
L.
