Finalist – The Peeper –
Kahuzi-Biega National Park in DRC is the last stronghold of the Grauer’s or eastern lowland gorilla. Numbers have dwindled to less than 4,000. The park warden, with his armed guards, took me to a specific group of gorillas. I took many shots of this particular young male where he was feeding on a wild banana tree. I could see how he relaxed when the dominant male moved away from his prime feeding spot.
