Gorilla in Bwindi Rain Forest

The shot was taken after a 3 hours walk through the Bwindi Rain Forest Mountains, near the boarder of Congo. It is a very unique experience, to spent almost 1 1/2 hours with these great, peaceful animals - our closest relatives in nature. The trip is guided and need to be booked almost a month ahead by one of the travel organisators. Costs are USD 500,-/person - which is worth the money, if you take under consideration, that it is an endangered species and the money is used to safe and protect the few remaining groups (also those, which are not accustomed to humans!). Uganda is most probably the only place in the world, where a Gorilla Trekking is by 90 % successful - even so not guaranteed!
The light to take photos is very tricky, I set my camera on f/2,8 and the ISO on automatic - which was not ideal, but the best I could do to get the maximum on shutter speed in the dim light.
