Good to see that we're not the only ones who stick our tongues out when fiddling with our eyes! Great snap Gordon.

Returning for comments:
We bump this guy from 6 to 8. It is that good a capture.

Ick, he is struggling! I love the focus on the gorilla with the use of a blur background and his texture is amazing. This photo shows just how human-like animals all are and that we all suffer from the "fly in the eye" sometimes. Great capture.

Nice detail, dof & composition. Funny too, and I always say, show me the funny! What would I have done differently? Um, spelled eye with a capital 'E'... j/k
Great catch, and it should be a top finisher! [10]

great capture. funny image with good focus and lighting. a bit overexposed to me, and could use a bit of kick in the contrast/saturation area

Really nice work on this photo. Composition is great. The only area of improvement I see is in the color. It seems a bit flat or dull.

A bit over exposed.

This might be more effective with some additional contrast. Black and white would be a nice filter for this shot as well. The focus and detail is well shot.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice
