Baby Gorilla

Gallery: WildlifePosted October 31, 2017346 views7 comments

While scouting for a new trip to Uganda, I photographed this little baby during a gorill trek. I recently got the news that it was awarded 1st prize in the Mammals category of the IFWP (International Federation of Wildlife Photography) 2017 photo contest. On top of that it was finalist in the Golden Turtle 2017 competition so it's at the moment being exhibited in the expo center Krasnaya Presnya in Moscow as well as on the Manheznaya square in front of the Kremlin. So young and already famous, if only he knew

Gretchen: the awards are truly deserved. Surprised to see so few comments, especially when the photo is of such quality . and of a baby gorilla to boot. Richard

Congratulations. Wonderful image. It is one of those very special images that keeps drawing me ( and probably many others) back just to have another look.
