I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Rwanda to photograph the mountain gorillas in the wild. Feel free to C&C.
C&C always welcome. I can't learn if I don't know what I've done wrong or could do better.

    My only criticism is that you are making me incredibly jealous.

    Outstanding capture. clap.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    For this one, i was using the D90 with a 70-200 VR and 2x TC.

    Officially we have to stay a minimum of 7 meters away. This shot was probably a bit further. There were times they were so close we could almost touch them.

    Thank you.
    Thank you all for the kind comments. I am truly flattered at the response. I am still a rank amateur, but feel these are some of the best photos I have produced.
