The Detroit Zoo has 3 silverback gorilla half-brothers in their twenties. I think Kongo is the most handsome and he is shown here. I may post pics of the other brothers in the future.
All shots with Nikon D500, 200-500mm, and fill-in flash. High shutter speed and high ISO (overcast day).

Great set of images. I agree with many of the comments about capturing those very expressive eyes. Makes you wonder what he's thinking about. When you commented on how handsome he is, my first thought was a lot of good that does him without any ladies around to truly appreciate it. I'll bet that's what he's thinking about.

An excellent set. You have definitely captured the essence of Kongo. I remember visiting the Milwaukee City Zoo back in the early 50s where one of my cousins family were sponsoring a silverback gorilla in a very big habitat. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories of my youth. Mahalo for sharing.
