I love zoos and the fact that they are there to educate the public about animals, their lives and habitats. Also for the safe up-keeping and allowing species to live on in captivity.
But it is cruel to how the animals are restricted when all they want is to probably move around and be animals.
This photograph seems to show how worn the gorilla is and how fed up he is.
Great title too....
It's amazingly clear too....was it shot through glass...
I took a photo like this a few days ago, but it's of an Orangutan....he also looks very sad....:(

(sorry for the ranting)

Great pic, the detail is really good, the contrast is just spiffing, and there's a great atmosphere ^-^

This made me so sad. I've been to zoos, even some alright ones, and they make me so, so tired of everything, like I just want to sit there and let them out, one by one. Animals are gorgeous, aware beings, and they deserve to be treated that way. You've captured the emotion behind that almost-human face in a way that no one can mistake for something else.

You know what that honestly makes me think about? It makes me think about how quite a few people think animals are heartless and soulless creatures that kill. And you simply prove that animals have as much emotions as humans.
