Description
Taken at the Cleveland Zoo - OhioThis is one of the Western Lowland Gorillas at the zoo, they're always a hoot to watch because they're all over the place whether they're brooding over by the doors or turning their backs to us almost petulantly. This one was hanging out in a niche where you had to strain sideways to get a look at him and I just zoomed straight into his face.
Although it's not blatantly apparent, this got made into a black and white because of some red glare that disappeared with the desaturation. I like it though!

I love it being black and white. I think it brings out the details of the gorilla better. Nice job!

Great Picture. Is it wierd that I had to scroll back up to check when I read the part about it being black and white?

LOL Nope! I'm the same way with my own photo, I look at it and don't realize it's black and white til I look at the lips.
