Fab

Excellent capture in every respect,well done.

This is excellent. :)

Perfect,Natalie,as always!!

I am very taken with a lot of your animal (i don’t even want to use that word) images. I can find images like this a bit nice or saccarrine, but much of your work imparts a great dignity (as it should) to your subjects.
They deserve to be respected in all sorts of ways, and your photography does that very well.

Very intelligent.

You captured an amazing expression here, Natalie. I just love the way he is looking at you. There is so much going on behind those eyes…

Hi Nat,
Silverback is awesome! I’m not your normal person to say, “WOW” or given 1/2 of a sentence.
Your composition, fine detail, sparkle in both eyes, brightness & contrast, color harmony, etc is all excellent.
I truly admire you for giving money to Congo Rangers to aid gorilla conservation efforts.
Take care, Bonnie

Wow….. what an Expression!!! Those eyes SPEAK!!

This is a stunning portrait. I’m impressed by how you’ve captured this amazing creature and envious that you had the opportunity to be his/her presence!
