its kinda like the look i give you sometimes

Have to agree with you, this is a beautiful portrait of the gorilla. Love the expression on his face, and the shadows around his eyes really make the shot. Very nicely done and thanks for sharing.

The look I deciphered was - "why don't you sit down next to me and keep me company for a bit". Definitely a beautiful capture..

It's a good shot but can have more impact showing more facial detail and a tighter crop.
Try cropping about half of the tree trunk from the left border, and down from the top, almost to the top of head. Also cloning out the white vertical shape in front of it's face eliminates a distraction.
All very minor things, but the difference is significant.

Very interesting capture, the gorilla seems to be unaffected by your presence.

indeed it is a beautiful pic, I like the look on the gorillas face, makes me wonder what he is thinking/feeling, thanks for sharing

I'm with Doug (Snapshooter), you've captured a wonderful facial expression but there is a lot of small things interfering with it's full photographic impact. A tighter crop and a little lightening of his face would make a big impact difference I think.
