i like how the ape is framed in the two logs, i might have cropped more of the left and right out of the photo and zoomed in some more on the ape.

the colour of the surroundings seem a bit washed out.

There are some really bad puns being pulled out this week - but congratulations, you're in the lead so far :)

The colors are a bit too drab for anything to pop. I think a little more contrast would've made this more effective.

The two beams crossing in front give us a sense of this limited "habitat." Nonethless, the subject is making the best of it with a game (?) The B&W works well - makes the ape the stand out.

Nice subject. In my opinion, I would have desaturated a bit more to remove all traces of color, or brought back enough to emphasize a traditional sepia effect.

I think in your attempts to increase contrast, you lightened the wood too much and darkened your main subject too much losing detail in the gorilla. I do however, like your idea to have kept the grass with some color and I do like the composition alot.
