Description
The young male gorilla at the zoo who entertained us with his crazy ways. I loved him. I told my mom when we left that I wanted a pet gorilla, haha.
He does scare me when I look at his face, though, and I don't really know why. xP
Not a great picture. I couldn't figure out how to remove the reflection from the glass. Might move it to scraps later.

we're beefy and we know it
Gorilla could easily tear any human limb from limb, you're right to be scared
they're gentle giants most o the time though

Hi there, this photo is beautiful an I am thinking of doing a group of drawings of gorillas from photos I find here on DA, so I was wondering if it would be okay if I draw this photo. I shall of course give you full recognition and a link back to this photo and your gallery.
If you would like to check out my gallery and see if I am the type of artist that you would like to draw your photo then here is a link to my gallery.[link]
If not, no probs, I totally understand.
Thanks for your time

It's a really nice picture ^^ It's as if the gorilla holds a grudge when I look into he's/her eyes x-x

I normally don't like reflections in photos, but here I feel like strong diagonals really add to the overall intensity - very cool

This is a masterpiece!
Don't move it to scraps. I'm quite afraid of monkeys and gorrillas and his face in this photo scares me too!
I can appriciate the photography though, perfectly framed! :

It seems fine to me, thanks for letting me know! One thing: would you mind putting my icon by it, saying it's by me? Thanks for the feature!

Ape's faces always scare me because they're so human and yet... not 
Great expression capture- though it's a pity about the glass reflection (I can't tell you how many zoo shots I've had spoiled by that- and it's even worse when the shot would be okay if the glass was clean but isn't!)

I wouldn't move to scraps if I was you, it' so expressive! More like a portrait than wildlife photography to me
