London Zoo: Lowland gorilla

Looks like there were at least a couple of us TP'ers at the zoo yesterday. Here's my best shot of the day.

Hi Larry

That's a great shot, what are the enclosures like at London Zoo?. Was this shot through glass or bars/wire?

Thanks!

He was outside (for only the third time this year apparently, so I was pretty lucky) so no wire or glass in the way. He has quite a big area to roam in. There's only a waist-high wooden fence around the enclosure, but there's also a three wire electric fence, so I had to crop this shot in tight as there was a wire showing at his chest level in the full shot. He has indoor areas behind glass but there a couple of very good shooting positions outside.

Thanks Cobra. Still getting used to the new 5D3 but I'm pretty pleased with this shot.
