Mountain Gorilla at Dawn Ledge Winter in along a game trail in Ecuador

Mountain Gorilla at Dawn Ledge Winter

by Harry Price

Soft overcast light falls through dramatic clouds, illuminating a mountain gorilla perched on a rugged rock ledge. The primate sits in patient stillness, its dark fur absorbing the muted gray tones of a winter morning. Tall grasses bend around the animal's massive form, their tips frosted with a thin layer of ice that hints at the dead of winter. The shallow depth of field blurs the background, isolating the subject against a wash of pale sky and distant vegetation. Fine details in the gorilla's knuckles and the texture of the wet stones stand out clearly. One blade of frozen grass rests against the animal's knee.
