Highly commended – Silverback gorilla feeding – In the Virunga National Park, the game guards firstly introduced us to the silverback, leader of a big Mountain gorilla group. We spent about 20 minutes with him while he was feeding. When he was happy with our presence we moved to the rest of the group, which included another two fully-grown silverback males. -By Hesté de Beer, Kroonstad Canon EOS-1D X Mark 11, Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM, 1/500 sec, f/5.6, ISO 3200
