OMG that is too precious.

You’ve done well here.. what lens? She never sits too close to anything other than the back wall, so you have done well indeed. Love the focus on the eyes..

I lucked out with the Gorillas on the second day…after the keeper talk they were all very active and she moved around to the left hand side, not that far away from me. I got hardly any of them the first day, the second I got lots of the babies and I got her hugging hers just before I left :) Was the 100-400, in fact I used it exclusively.

Yeah its a brilliant lens, I want it! But my 50-500 ‘Bigma’ is giving me great results at the moment, so can’t complain. The Gorillas are hit and miss.. seems every second time I go, they don’t come out of there little room. What can ya do!

love this
truly something that touches your heart
and i sometimes wonder why some humans can’t act the same way
this is great photo many should look at
and mirror
i and perez of Lifeline
have a challenge called Identity with one’s Affinity
Basically its challenge that involves you conveying what animal in the animal kingdom you can truly relate to
And it would help if you could describe how the animal is a reflection of you, with your piece

This photo needs to be in a magazine!!!! STUNNING!!!!! You are extremely talented!
Brandie1
This is a magnificent capture.
It has the heart warming effect.
Can’t help but realising in photos like this animals in some cases make better parents than some humans.

This is so poignant and so very frighteningly human! An awesome image that provokes thought about how we share the planet with our animal partners.
Your work is amazing!
