Watching the Gorillas

I went to the zoo last weekend and since the weather was glorious and sunny I got some great shadow shots and had a hard time picking just one...but I liked this one.

It's the happy shadows of lots of people leaning against the glass railing to the gorilla enclosure. They are all watching the new baby gorilla enjoying being outside for the first time! You don't get to see the baby but I can see at least two shadows taking photos and a kid swinging on the rail!

    That is a wonderful shot! From your description I can almost see all the excited people standing at the railing.

    A really interesting take on taking photos of people. And I can see the kid hanging from the railing!

    Very cool picture!
    I was trying to figure out what it was before I read your post. I thought it might be the hands of people spelling a word. Good thing I read on...I would have been sitting here forever trying to figure out what it spelled! hahaha.
    Have a nice day!

    This is an awesome pure gorillas, eh? Kidding! This really awesome. I thought it's what you said.

    Analysing shadows is what I use to. I don't read what my co-participant wrote. Then, if I can't guess, so time to read the text §:-))

    Hope you have a nice w/k ahead.

    Sometimes the shadow is more interesting than the subject itself. Very cool shot.

    Great SS! It's neat to see the shadows of the hands with the cameras against the rugged rock wall. Thanks for commenting on my blog today! Happy new week!

    Super shadow shot! At first I thought the shadows were monkey softies hanging on a line. I guess I was close ;)

    Such a cool shadow shot! It's great on it's own but even better having the background story to go with it.
