I think I see what you were going for here, but I'm not sure that I personally like it. I would have enjoyed the shot more without the reflection.

O.K. a slightly above average shot of a .....whoa! You have a great eye to have spotted this photo opportunity! Love the parallels here: human and ape. I do think that you could have gotten away with calling this "Profiles" - just to offer another hint to those who would quickly pass this by without noticing the little visual gem you have here. Love that you caught the two profiles looking away from each other for that also adds visual interest; two species, two paths. The gorilla also has an facial expression that makes me think he/she is listening to some inner music or meditative state (perhaps reflecting upon inner being/spirit perhaps). This photo could hold many different meanings.

A square crop might have given this more impact. The silhouetted child on the shoulder is interesting.

Comment by mayize:
thank you all and thank you tom too for the posthumous award!

i don't do a lot of setting up for shots I just kinda go with the flow. the colours caught me and it was a little bench my son had put his treat on

I don't understand the obsession with making everything totally un crooked :) life is crooked and I don't think the shot would be any better straightened... just straighter and anyone can do that

I am really glad I had something that week that fit at least one (though might have worked for two) challenges :)
