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 portrait shots.... VERY thought provoking when looking into those eyes and reflecting that we humans share 98% of DNA with Gorillas.

Beautiful animals, beautiful images, sharp, detail, great color, etc. I will have to stop by there on my next visit to my old hometown.

Love the shots, well done. I have photographed gorillas and orangutans through a long distance lens and they are very intelligent animals. Just look in the eyes. I saw a jerk making fun of them and the big male gorilla moved to the side of the water.. I saw his eyes and if he could have crossed the water, he would have injured the jerk.
