Congratulations on another Frontpage Beauty Steve!

Well Done – Front page beauty – Love it

Steve, great photo as all your work is.

Hi Steve, I’ve done the same thing in the same spot. Aren’t they amazing! Great shot.

Spectacluar image! Now i was always told that you were never to stare them in the eye as they take that as a threat, can becomae agressive, hostile and try to kill you, is this statement true?
You are so fortunate to see these so up close in persona without bars or glass between you and them as most of us do.

Wow , stunning what a beauty, and how privilaged to see it so close :))

Incredible, great portrait
bram

NO, NO, NO! Why is some people get to live the life that was really meant for you! You got mine Steve and I want it back. Lol
Fantastic shots, all of them. Thank cripes you know how to wield a camera.

great image, love it

Haha, looks like me. What a beautiful shot. He looks so placid. Wonderful work x)

He is gorgeous, great shot once again… ;-)

Great portrait and very nice DOF, although I never would look him into his eyes. A woman here (in the Netherlands) was almost killed at the zoo a while ago, because of that. A gorilla totally freaked out, got over the water and grabbed her. Dramatic, such an animal running around between the people…. Nevertheless, animals live best in nature instead of zoo’s. The shot is awesome!

Awesome shot, this would be great in Natural developments, group.

Amazing portrait Steve.

Nice Capture

This is wonderful..the eyes are so expressive.

Fantastic just love it.

So expressive

Your gorilla shots amaze me. Silverbacks are my absolute fave. I hope someday to be able to experience them free and in the wild.

Amazing….....How fwonderful to actually get to see these beautiful creatures in real life, let alone take such fantastic shots of them… This would be a dream come true for me….Thanks so much for sharing these with us….

Just Gorgeous..What a Shot!

(previously pjmossie) Great shot Steve, such emotion in the face, i love it.
