Solitary Confinement sent on November 14, 2012 (20:38) by Steve Mackay. 62 comments, 12011 views.

This is Djanghou, a captive, adult male, Western Lowland Gorilla, who resides at Howletts Animal Park (Kent, UK). He was sitting in the shadows of his outdoor enclosure, every once in a while he would lean forward slightly, which allowed the bright sun to light up small features on his face and chest. I underexposed the shot to render the shadows as dark as possible, I then converted to B/W and further darkened the blacks. Howletts is a world leader in it's gorilla breeding and wild reintroduction programme, so my title "Solitary Confinement" was purely for moody narrative purposes. This image reminded me of a (human) prisoner kept in dark "solitary confinement", with a shaft of light to convey the solemn mood of the "prisoner". Djanghou however, is as innocent as they get, he is an incredible animal! I'm sure many of us feel that captive animals (especially complex and intelligent creatures like the Great Apes) are a shadow of what their wild selves should really be!, so this is the idea behind the image (and not a slight on the efforts of the Zoo that this Gorilla lives at), thanks for looking!

Mi piacciono la composizione e il punto di ripresa. Avrei preferito vedere di più anche l'occhio , il nero assoluto in quella zona non mi convince.
ciao e buona luce, lauro

I like the composition and point of recovery. I would have preferred to see more of the eye, the absolute black in that area does not convince me.
hello and good light, lauro
