Here is another image of the Gorilla at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. This shows the whole animal. I personally liked the close up better. But this one has it merits also. Again I appreciate all the input from everyone.

I'm not sure on this but maybe just a little boost of contrast.

This one made me laugh. He looks like a model who's trying to hard

. I like the color and detail, and of course, the pose!

Hi Richard,

The minute I looked at this image I thought the same as Steve - this one's a real poser! The actual pose reminds me of something you'd see at a body-builders competition (which this guy would win hands down!).

Contrast on the image looks fine to me - I do wish there was just a tad more brightness in the eye region. I really like how this image shows the brown hairs on the top of his head so well.

Thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Nice shot of an impressive animal. You did a good job of capturing the detail in every little hair except, like Brad commented, it could use a little more detail in the eyes.
