[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is my first entry from my move to Omaha. I'm living in Omaha, NE now... this is one of the gorillas chilling out at the zoo here in town. I thought it was an awesome picture and wanted to share it with everyone. It's great to be back!

Hi

Nice shot. Even though I feel this photo isn't perfect on the technical side of things I really like. The expression on the gorillas face is classic and really made me smile :-). I like your composition and the way it seems so human like. Maybe a version is black and white would add more grit and I think the grass is a bit overexposed, one other I would do is also clone the people out. Maybe if I have time I will do a workshop. I really like the photo though.

Nice one

Drew

Hi Derrick,
Finally, I see your picture again! Glad to have you back, after a long break. This is a good one. If you increase a bit more on color saturation and contrast, and blurring image at BG (people behind glass), that -I believe- will make this picture really great. Thanks for sharing.
