Gorilla in Gorillas pavilon in ZOO Praha

Critiques


:iconjanuary77:
Awwww.... How cute! What a great shot. Especially if you were shooting through glass or a fence of some sort. The only thing that I think would have made this image better is a different angle. But I realize that, in a zoo setting, you shoot from where you can, around other people and cage enclosures, etc. Unlike the other critique, I'm not at all distracted by the wood shavings or whatever is clinging to it's fur. Animals are supposed to be a bit dirty. I like the focus, right on it's face and foot. Overall, a great photo. Thanks for sharing it.

This is an image with which I can find very few flaws. The composition is very classical and ties very nicely to the rule of thirds - with the gorilla's head into the bottom centre, and the borders of the image naturally falling into openness. One suggestion I can think of is that the wood shavings on the gorilla's head and arm are distracting from the foot-chewing that gives the image a real sentimental impact - but I realise that it's practically impossible to pluck wood off of a zoo animal! I'm also thinking the image would have more punch in a lower-contrast true black/white format, because the sepia tone looks very unnatural on a gorilla (which would be greyish-black in nature).

Extremely punchy piece, though, and great work!

Mmm... delicious feet. I love how you've managed to capture the little details like the straw in her hair. The black & white really pulls the shot together. Lovely. :D
