Even though the mid-afternoon light was casting strong shadows, and had to shoot through glass, I could not resist this gorilla mom and The expression of the youngster.

I think you did a good job with the composition, John. The harsh light made things difficult for maintaining good detail in the shadows and with making the background appear somewhat "nervous." This appears a little soft overall, which is perhaps the lens working on its outer limit? Or hand holding? A bit more careful, selective sharpening could help, but I would make sure there is none applied to the background.

Conditions seems really hard here.
I like the eye contact, especially with the baby. Well seen.
I think a little more contrast applied on the gorillas might give a little more punch to the image.
