18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Eye In The Jungle
After a steep climb, we reached a large mountain gorilla family. Babies were playing with each other, adults were eating or moving around, but one gorilla remained calm and quiet. This was the silverback of the group. While we were photographing his family, he made sure to keep a close eye on us and never let us out of his sight.
