This photo was taken in 2007 in the Congo. It is of a 500 pound sliverback mountain gorilla on a improvised stretcher. The reason why I chose this photo is because my eye is immediately down to the gorilla due to its massive scale, contrast, and distinct color. It also shows the compassion and care the people had for the gorilla and it incites emotional to the viewer. It also has a similar feel to the famous Steve McCurry photograph of the Indian man being held up covered in green powder as the men holding him up are covered in red powder.
