Thanks for commenting! He seemed to be a really mellow guy. The rangers explained that this group of gorillas were the first to be habituated so he's seen people visiting him for one hour a day all of this life. He was active, but calm, the whole time we were there. When the hour was almost up, he laid down for a nap. It was a great experience to see gorillas in the wild.

The eyes - no doubt there is some intelligence there in my opinion. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you! I used the free Google Nik Collection to make it pop.

Great shot! The vignette effect adds to the photo as it drives the focus of the image toward the eyes.

That's a great shot and it's on my bucket list of experiences to do.

How close were you actually to him?
