I love animal shots, and this is no exception. I like the detail in the far and around his eyes. I only wish that it wasn't B&W. 7

Its hard to say what that expression is in Gorilla language but he looks very sad to me but who knows! Very nice portrait. Its interesting that you chose to do it in B&W. I like it. I would like to see the color version to compare. Nicely focused and the subject is well placed in the frame.

I think this photo shows a lot of expresson, but I feel it needs more contrast through post-processing. At the moment there are a lot of mid greys which make it look a bit flat. The white line in the background is a bit distracting too and could have been cloned out. It looks from the sharpness that you have to crop the photo quite a bit to get this composition which means the image quality isn't too great, which unfortunatly effects the photo quite a bit. 5

There was a picture like this in the Boston Globe this week (though it was color.) In both images, the subject looks bored to death, which is probably exactly how he feels. The fur looks just a bit out of focus, with some highlights that are a bit strong, otherwise, I think this might have been a top entry.

I had fun changing my viewing angle. Good shot.

This is a great portrait with good detail and excellent tones. The b/w choice is great because it adds to the character, avoids the color variations and frees the viewer to reflect squarely on the subject and the plight of these creatures. A very moving study.

My favorite "zoo" animal. I have also wondered exactly what your caption asks. His expression is very fitting of the title. I like the mood you capture with black & white. Nice clarity in his face. I gave you a (10)

I can almost feel his fur... very high detail, wonderful. I wish it wasn't cropped so tight at the top, but that's a extremely minor detail considering the quality of the photograph and expression on this chap's face :)
