Beautifully balanced composition, an unusual closeup, and I love that it's so heavy on the use of blue - you are a true natural, a real artist's eye.

I love gorillas as they are both gentle and itelligent creatures despite being massively powerfull.

I like gorillas too, for the same reasons

Oh yea they are great

So many people think both gorillas and elephants are aggressive, they are both greatly misunderstood species.

I totally agree with that but people will always be wary of them just because they are so big. On the other hand you've got frogs which are somtimes tiny and extreemly deadly just to touch so I don't think we can simply judge animals on appearance and size alone.

Yeah, those poison dart frogs, some spiders and some scorpions are very small and so deadly, I guess size really doesn't matter!

Oh yea totally. I love rhinos as well and they're big and very territorial but great parents to their offspring. In the ocean size doesn't really detirmine whether you're dangerous or not either, I mean take the whale shark for example. I loves whalesharks

Whale sharks are awesome creatures

Oh yea and so gentle. I've seen documenateries on whales and whale sharks and they are truly unique with their song and such, so calming. One day I hhope to go and see animals like whale sharks and dolphind in person.
