I like all the interesting information that you've included about this handsome guy. He does look to be overseeing. I like the position of his hand. The color saturation and lighting are very nice and your framing is great.

These giants are some of my favorite animals to sit and watch. The Columbus Zoo has a fabulous exhibit. The crop and the pose is exceptional. The background helps pop his image. The only thing I want suggest is to add a touch of contrast as the light is a touch strong and is reflection of his fur creating a bit of burnout. Nice framing and display of this magnificent animal.

Nice portrait and capture of the Thinker. It looks like he is staring at something of photo. I like the clarity of the entire photo, while having a good depth of field on the Thinker.

Thank you very much for all the write up/info. Adds a great deal. Very nice composition of this guy. Wonder what he is thinking. I am guessing a silverback from his colors. Nice moment and thanks for sharing.

The title and your description of him really set the tone. It opened up my eyes to what these animals are up to besides walking around eating. From this photo he looks like he's sitting on his throne, majestically gazing at the apes beneath him.

Sounds and seems like you had a great Christmas Day! Hard to believe that this great big gorilla could take the peel off a radish!! Your shot is very well composed, has fine exposure and is very sharp. Wish I could award 6! Very well done and good luck.
