I think this is a good photo. However, I think it would be a GREAT photo if the gorilla on the left was cropped out, and just the baby was in the frame. The gorilla on the left is distracting to me, and personally does not add much to the photo. Congrats on the POTD, and nice work.

Spot on framing and timing!!

great eye contact, great color and pretty sharp. I really like the background blurred out.

What an excellent photo! I agree with the eye contact. I have never seen this kind of gorilla before or an infant gorilla. I love that they are in their natural environment and there is such an intimate feel to it. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

had it rained when you took this shot as the textured hair on the gorillas makes this picture that much more appealing

I love this family photo. I also like the fact that the gorillas are home in Rwanda, not in a zoo.
