Baby gorilla

Since we just ended a class and are starting a new one tonight, I didn't have any lighting assignments for this week.  Instead, I've been back to editing my photos from Africa and have been working primarily on the shots of the gorillas we trekked to see in the rain forests of Rwanda.  One of my favorite sights was this tiny (6 weeks old or so) gorilla baby looking up at me.  To get a feel for how small she was and how big her mother is, check out mom's fingers in the upper left hand side of the image.  Such a precious bundle....hopefully increasing the numbers of this remarkable, but very endangered, species.
