[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken during my summer trip to Denmark. The place is called Løveparken Givskud ( = Lion Park). It is part Zoo part safari park.
The gorilla was behind a glass in a shady place. I used ISO 400 to get a satisfactory speed and a circular polarizer to reduce the flare.
Even though the conditions of the Park where excellent you can see that some animals where not meant to be behind bars.
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. A look like that ?

Hi Alexandros,

Welcome to TE.

your photo really strikes me! What a look of the gorilla. Amazing. The shadow/light contrast are great and B&W makes your image and look even stronger. Keep on sharing

Great portrait with an amazing glance. It's not commun to get one like this. Great moment associated by a good B&W treatment.
Well done,
Cheers,
Jean-Claude

This surely is a good one, Alexandros. I like the B&W choice in this one, the look on gorilla's face is even stronger. I guess, you're right, this animals shouldn't be behind bars...

Hi Alexandros
Hard to believe this taken in Denmark - but then again - I haven't been to the Lion Park of Givskud for yes.
A fine and special pose - no words needed here.
Thanks for sharing.
Jeppe

Πολύ καλό πορτρέτο τελικά, λες και τον είχες στήσει!!
Τέτοιες φωτογραφίες λείπουν κυρίως από Έλληνες φωτογράφους.
Απ' ότι κατάλαβες, ίσως να μην αρέσουν τόσο αυτές, όσο αρέσουν τα τοπία εδώ.
Φωτογραφίες που ίσως εσύ θεωρείς τις καλύτερές σου, να μην συγκεντρώνουν τα βλέματα.
Δεν πειράζει, κάποιοι θέλουμε να ανέβάσεις και άλλες τέτοιου είδους.
Παράδειγμα για μένα αυτή

Δοκίμασε να φτιάχνεις και ένα πλαίσιο λευκό ή μαύρο για παράδειγμα. Δείχνουν καλύτερα
