Very nice shot with a lot of symbolism and there seems to be a good understanding and athmosphere among the partisipants. The placement of the reflections are perfect. (But I have to say that after beeing in Africa and seen wildlife in it's natural habitat, I don't think I'll ever want to visit a zoo again).

Thank you for the comments

These type of pictures are challenging, not by the creatures on the other side of the glass, out in the open, but by the human creatures inside the confines of a narrow room, with parents who let their kids loose. This boy and girl are two well behaved primates who appreciate the other primate on the other side of the glass,, I tried this a couple other times,, total disastor,,people taking flash pictures against glass,,,, I think this wise guy in gray on the right side of this image has seen it all!, I should ask him photography advice

Best zoo shot I can ever remember seeing! The reflection in the glass is even great! I think that gorilla actually is enjoying those kids. I think that is a smile on it's face. Amazing!

Wow Brad! It is too bad we cannot interact at a level where there is actual contact.
