Challenge: For Dallas (Expert Editing)
Collection: challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-600D/T3 Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Date: Apr 20, 2012
Aperture: 10.0
ISO: 3200
Shutter: 1/40
Date Uploaded: Apr 23, 2012

 This is the Buffalo Zoo, baby, or rather toddler Gorilla named Amari. I tried to find a shot where the Gorilla was doing something a bit more interesting,
and then being an expert challenge, tried to superimpose somethings where the Gorilla was, but it didn't work. Additionally, whenever I am at the zoo, it always seems that the humans have the better expressions.

Thanks for all the comments.
And this was a personal best.

Love the girls eyes! Monkeys are funny! You are right on the edge with that shutter speed managing to capture the monkeys face nice and sharp where there is slight motion blur on the rest of him.
