 Doubt this will do much against beautifully shot lions, zebras and elephants At the Zoo. Expecting a low 5 or even less. Shot through glass, really crappy original, but liked the lighting, the angle and his face so I tried to make it into something emotive. I thought grain was meant for it. Ended up liking it and then saw Paul Simon had the perfect alternative title to At the Zoo and thought what the heck.

A portrait of a gorilla doesn't really tell me African skies. I like the photo itself. the black and white conversion works well here. I like the tight crop. Some people may give you crap about too much negative space on the right, but I like it there.
