I took this at the Memphis Zoo. This guy stared at me the whole time. I did not stay long at his enclosure.

D800, 300 mm, ISO 1600, f6.3, 1/250 sec.

Comments always welcome.

A well exposed image of a gorilla. I like the look you captured. Also, fine detail in his hair and skin. My guess is he is trying to solicit some response from you. Thanks for sharing.

Hi John

Thank you. I had a good subject and a high overcast day.

I talked to him as I was the only one there. Forgot to mention above, he did do a short huff thing where he turned his back on me but then he resumed this staring pose. He did not like my sweet talk apparently.

Best
