Captive Eyes

...

Such as endearing face, makes one almost feel sorry for him. Nice capture. Cheers, Sondra

this pic is good but if im guessing right you used a flash.. and that i dont like.. or its a gorilla in captivity with a dussin lamps around it wich takes away the natural feel of the animal.. nice work anyway. Amin

Great detail - highlights the sad eyes. Good capture, Regina.

Thanks Sondra and Kim. I had hoped to capture the expressive eyes. Thus the title. She was practially leaning on the glass so I was able to get close.

 

Amin, Gorillas are not native here in NC so yes, this was taken a the zoo, through a double glass barrier. No flash was used, not good for the animals to be flashed in the face, they don't appreciate it much. They don't like direct eye contact either, so this was the best I could manage. Not sure what kind of lighting you are refering to, as this was taken outside.

one of our relatives.

Just like in the movies. Scary!
