EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic presence of a Silverback Mountain gorilla in its natural habitat within the Virunga National Park, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa. The image captures the essence of this endangered species, highlighting its strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The gorilla's powerful physique is emphasized as it lies on its front, gazing directly at the camera with an intense eye contact that seems to penetrate one's soul. Its fur shimmers under sunlight, reflecting shades of silver and gray against a backdrop of lush greenery and towering mountains. Virunga National Park itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its rich biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes. This protected area serves as a sanctuary for numerous animal species facing extinction due to human activities such as deforestation and poaching. Michael Runkel skillfully immortalizes this moment through his lens, capturing not just an animal but also conveying a deeper message about conservation efforts. The photograph invites viewers to contemplate their role in preserving these magnificent creatures' habitats while evoking awe and admiration for nature's wonders. This stunning portrait serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting endangered wildlife around the world.
