Everyone interprets it as he wishes:-). For example, I had not seen so I know what he wanted to communicate the author of the picture. Undoubtedly, ignoring the fact that it was taken in an environment that I can not stand (even see it in postcard just to say), I can say that without a doubt this is a beautiful shot, like the others who Sulasula posted previously. However, the fact that just can not stand it and I think I have already stated is to the shooting conditions and the place of the shooting. For others strictly wild not fault it if not many compliments to the author for his skill! Despite what seems to me a bit 'a contradiction that a photographer who deeply appreciates nature shots places such facts in this particular condition. If the message was to portray the brutality of Zoos and denounce the triste condition of animals in captivity, I'm sorry, but I have not read. So, in fact, my opinion might change slightly. ;-)

Bravo author especially in post production, a true artist and this is the reason that the photo should be in the gallery Photo art and not in this. I remind everyone that Juza Photo born as a forum for nature photography and the two sections "fauna" and "birds" and should emphasize the conditional, be dedicated to nature photography that true. This picture of nature has nothing, the mere fact that the author claims to have been made in a zoo, removes any connotation of natural or naturalistic. From a strictly photographic post production is evident with the background completely black and the light in that manner that does not exist in nature. What then is the impact did not argue but I agree with Alberto and Alex. The critique of naturalistic pictures requires specific skills that few possess in here, we limit ourselves to the comment emotional impact of the picture and you end up here. But youseek alibi, not a complaint but picture a photo taken just to gather support on the artistic abilities of the author in the post production, photo to impress and just.

What a discussion here :-)

Regarding to taking pictures in zoo, I agree it is quite different experience than in the wild. I never even tried to say it is the same or those pictures were taken in wild (sadly, as many photographers do). This is just my expression of zoo kept animals, nothing more, nothing less. I really respect somebody will not like it. I am strogly oriented to feelings in my pictures instead of taking them with working routine. I feel there are rules in photography and one have know them to be able break if would like so. I do it time to time as my vision leads me. I am olso ok, if most of you will refuse captive bred animals in this forum or aks to make separate topic, I have plenty of wild pictures to share indeed :-)

Just let me share another link where Prague ZOO is mentioned with connection to Gorillas. I mean this is real example how ZOO and wave of people interest can help in real conditions, where gorillas still live in their evnvironment:
www.zoopraha.cz/en/animals/we-help-them-to-survive/projects/7679-goril

No offense, just explain some of motivation to create and share those pictures. I am ready to stop if you wish.

Hello Petr, nobody said that zoos can not help but hurt (although almost always do more harm than good ..), but the link you posted means little to me. Sure they did a work of fundraising, and thank goodness there are people or institutions who deal with it! But this does not justify, at least for me, the fact that take animals that should be locked up in freedom, and I speak not only of the gorilla, your own gallery shows how many different species are closed in the Prague zoo. Furthermore it seems also an inhuman barbarism (do not know if you too, in the Czech Republic, they do so in zoos, but probably you) to keep locked up even the birds in large aviaries at most as a small building in the suburbs, when they should be free to travel for miles and settle where they please. Also, I would not be the usual killjoy, but I also believe thatin this case the operators of the zoo have made, as we say here in Italy, the best of a bad situation.
Petr then you're nice to me, you are a professional photographer from what I could see in your other shots and answer patiently and politely, even to people who do not think like you, which is a great value. However, at least I do, and I think I speak on behalf of Paul and Alberto, we will not change idea how many examples like you to take us: get in a zoo or see an animal in a cage goes against the ethics of wildlife photographer IMHO .

The photo, being a photography forum you should talk about that, it's really beautiful. The pose, the emotion it elicits, congratulations.
There are no rules that prohibit post photos taken at the zoo, and in any case the author has been honest and said from the title. The photo like it or not and why, this is what you should speak, the rest better discuss it in a forum of animal rights. Imho
It is as if I saw a magnificent landscape from the parking lot and not because the photographer to reach that place I have not climbed 11 mountains and crossed rivers 8 ....

Alberto, keep calm :-) If I wish to take pictures of tourists in zoo, I would take pictures of them. But this is not my goal.

I know about the Gorilla treks, must be cool experience. I never been in Africa forest so far but believe me I really know what is struggling with the light in the forest or forest edges. Almost 90% off all my pictures were taken right there :-))

Just make me clear. The main problem with this picture(s) is wrong category where attached? If added to Photo Art (to be honest, I overlooked it already exist here) it would be better? I am ready to move it, no problem.

But, not having seen a RAW, how can you be so sure of the PP of this shot?
I, for one, have some shots in Photo-art that PP does not have anything (underexposure made on the spot). My choice was to post them in this section, just to avoid being pilloried needlessly: fconfuso:
Lately, it seems to me there is a crusade "anti PP".
We do not pretend to say whether it is right or wrong .... judge, rather, the end result (although it will always be a subjective judgment);-)
And 'more invasive a black vignetting around the subject or, as often happens, the reconstruction of the plumage of a bird to remove a small sprig?: Fconfuso:
First we put in photo-art and the second is to take 100 "likes" in birds?: Fconfuse:

[But, not having seen a RAW, how can you be so sure of the PP of this shot? / QUOTE]
Fabio just look at the gallery, subjects with different background and lights all identical, it seems unlikely. Sula Sula is a great artist of the post production, has also written several books on the use of Lightroom and Photoshop, teaches courses and workshops, you can read everything on its web site.
The crusade on the PP in nature photography luckily there. I am proposing around Lombardy a conference on nature photography and the chapter on post production you read my blog published a few days ago. It is not about making the "Taliban" of the situation, but a minimum of ethics, after having seen all the colors especially in competitions in which you win also good money, requires that the PP is contained in a minimum without upheavals type moamend the background colors or add / remove the particular picture that should be as faithful as possible to the original scene.
Obvious that appeal more photos like this rather than a real scene WILDLIFE not post produced and perhaps with some slight defect, definitely picture like this would sell more, but then again the nature photography is a serious matter and believe me, I know hundreds, for the majority of this type of ethical fotonaturalisti still applies.

Fabio, would give you the same thrill to see him lying gorilla in a cage with cores of apples, nuts, etc. and tourists who make Selfie and attract him. In zoos avviane this I think. This is the reality and not discussed.
The photo is a done interpretation and subjective artistic and therefore lawful, technically successful, but for this they should not be discussed in the section Fauna.

This picture and a fiction than fiction. You do not see the environment because it deliberately masked. See the cage does not help the likes I know ... What is done with a large underweight before recovering the shadows where needed what changes? Is always fiction. (IMHO of course)

I still prefer the trips and the photos also scarce but at least true.

Just be clear, I never change any object of my pictures. All were taken as you can see them but yes I post processed them to get out most of data in RAW. I usually take pictures in rainforest which is quite different environment than open fieldslike savanas or wetlands. I quickly upgrade my equipment to my current stage, as I learned I need to manage with ISO 2000-3200 and handheld 1\60s. In most cases I took my pictures in no-light conditions. I do not even remember when I have seen real photography-light (no sunset, no sunrise). All I have is idea, equipment and skills to deal with image noise and low contrast in post process.

By the way, I do not believe, RAW is the only information "how it really looks like", the only true. Dynamic range of DSLR is so poor, that you can even choose what you will keep (lights or shadows) even your eyes seen both very well. I alwas prefer to keep those parts which are essential and with those I deal in PP.

Alberto, the pictures were moved to Photo Art already, as I wrote before. Just overlooked this category exists here.

Anyway, you could leave them in wildlife, if the gallery is so named, and no wildlife or wildlife in captivity, and indicates that you should insert in the case of captivity, and you have done it, I do not see where was the problem. The rest are controversies that go beyond the photograph, and incorrect in a photography site. For this however you demonstrated a gentleman.
