I've learned from this challenge that gorrilla/ape shots are almost always great because they give such human-like expressions and poses, that the personification is so easy to see, making for a pleasing (and usually humorous) image 9 times out of 10. Yours is no exception. Great capture. :)
Like the image and the expression that you have captured. The reflection from the window is a little distracting especially to the left side of his head. Nice focus, DOF, and lighting. Good luck
Very entertaining. I think that this photo could have been improved a little if you were to clone out the reflection in the window of his own arm. It could use a little more contrast to help knock out the window. As far as the capturing of a creature through glass you get an A! on that technique. yYu did a great job.
You could almost put this photograph in a Captions contest. If he wasn't an ape, you would swear he was human. I have come back to this photograph several times becauase I find it most intriguing. Is this infact a model or a real gorrilla? I have given this a 9 anyway
I think he's too centered in the frame. A tighter crop on his head/hand might be more effective, especially since you've captured him with such a great expression. Nice, crsip focus on his eyes despite shooting through the glass.
great capture of a great expression 7
I might have give more if it was not for what looks like reflections in the glass that I'm assuming he sits behind! well done though!
I think it could have been a more powerful image if you cropped the top of the picture off just above the gorillas head. Great picture, though. I love the facial expression and the power visible in width of his chest and shoulders. Good luck.
Excellent expression! I'd have cropped a little of the top, and edited out that reflection in the glass. The title would also be stronger with punctuation (do you mean "What do you want?" or "What do you want!" ?)
