Hello Jim and welcome to TL! I live in Memphis and thought I recognized this photo! Ha! This is the first image I have seen on this forum with the new Tamron Zoom. I have my eye on that lens and judging from your shot it has great clarity, detail, and color saturation. I have the 28-75 2.8 and it is one of my favorite lens. Somehow a little green got mixed into the light on his face which may have reflected off the grass he is eating. You could probably pull that out of his face with curves or hue/saturation. Very excellent work and I look forward to more of your images. Brent

I like this portrait.
Some leaves hanging ot of its mouth or A wider angle to show thats its a silver back would have been cool.

But with a zoo setting its important to crop out all the zoo stuff.
Nevertheless great photo.

Maybe he recognized a family resemblance?? Just kidding! This is a great post and displays a lot of character in this guy! I love the expression in his eye! Nice cropping and detail! Welcome to TrekLens!

Welcome to Treklens, Jim. Glad to have you here. You have joined us with a good first post. I like the way you chose to crop just his face, thereby highlighting those eyes of his!! TFS....:O)

Very nice indeed. Amazing facial expression on him. Almost seems to be amused about something!

Nice shot, you realy get the feeling of intelligence from his eyes... and is great with his lunch still left somewhat on his lips... :)

I think you pushed the wrong country link. Vanuatu has no gorillas to my knowledge.
