nice sot and a funny capture. I think the dark vignette is distrcting though and could maye benifit by being a bit more subtle.

lol....love those gorilas. Nice capture. I bet he wishes he wasn't captured (zoo)....I love his fierce image. Your lighting is nice in it's values, plus the striking orange object really sets this image apart from other gorilla images. This is very nice!!

Love the contrast between the colors! Great details on the texture. I am not too hot about the heavy vignetting, I find it a bit distracting.
