I was watching the 5 year old gorilla baby playing with his Mom & Dad. Suddenly he stopped and started to nurse. When I put the camera up to my eye both of them made eye contact and I took my shot. I felt we shared a special moment together.Editing

I love going to the zoo and watching the animals. Patience is key. Just wait and something is bound to happen worth a click of your camera to capture the moment forever.
