This is my entry for the contest - found this Western Lowland Gorilla deep in contemplation - perhaps remembering his original home. The shot was taken at the Brookfield Zoo in the western suburbs of Chicago. I will state firmly I am not a fan of zoos in today's world - they served their purpose in other centuries but with the advent of the internet and the type of wildlife video we have now everyone can see what different species look and act like. I'll get off my soapbox now . . . All comments and critiques appreciated.
