[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The single location on Earth, where mountain gorillas live. Beautiful animals, fantastic face play and gestures. It was a unforgettable experience meeting animals who are in the evolution chain the closest to us. The seem to think like people about what to do next, unlike other animals they share food with other group members and live in family like groups.

Good photo. I consider you as very lucky to have a direct view of gorlillas!

Hi Michael

That's really impressive to be so close from the gorilla. It does not seem to be disturbed by the presence of humans. How far from the gorilla were you ? Did you use the full 400 mm zoom ?

Hi Michael, I like the shot a lot. It shows these great apes in their daily search of food. I don't know about the light conditions in Ruanda, but this picture has a good sharpness and nice colors. I've visited them in the Bwindi NP in Uganda and I had very poor light conditions, so a lot of my pictures became blured.
Unforgetable experiences I'll certainly not forget. The feelings I had when I saw them is very hard to pack into words. I think you'll agree with me...
greetings

the animal is very nice show. Good pov, colors and light. It is like posing for a painting, the red leaves are interesting to break the monotony
