Artist's Comments

Baby gorilla at Howlett's Wild Animal Park, Kent, UK.

This baby was clinging to it's daddy's back (a huge silverback gorilla) and they were in a temporary holding cage while the mother was being operated on at the park's veterinary unit. As I approached the cage, the father turned to show me his son. He looked so proud, it brought a lump to my throat.

Thanks! It was part of a commission shoot for the park's souvenir brochure, and this shot made the cover. Complete fluke... :-)

Perhaps emotive portraits would have been a better category ;-) Thanks for your comment though!

I always wish I could put some of my animal photos into the portrait category :aww:
