Daddy is the BG.
Lonely would be my description.
Another from the San Diego Wildlife park.

Hi Dan - a nice look at the youngster and he has a pensive pose. I'm not sure dad adds much but understand that you probably could not avoid having him in the bg. Did you open up the darks or shadows on dad because it looks like some noise has been introduced on him? Looking forward to seeing more of Monroe.

Thanks for the comment Rachel.
It is a pretty large crop for the D7000, thus the noise.
I think the Adult in the background makes the image, so I don't understand that comment.
It is a Zoo photo, without the Dad, it is just a young gorilla against a fake cave.
If it was a natural photo with a real BG, I think the youngster would be fine.

Dan,
I agree with you about dad in the background. I love the contrast between the the young and the old. Great pose on both of them. I don't know if you had any more good space on the right but I might try cropping the wall on the left and adding space to the right to lose the cave effect. But do like your presentation too.
Hi Dan, as these animals are so close to us, you cannot help but apply our own, 'human' thoughts to this image.
I like the DOF, where the focus is on the youngster and father in the BKG doing his own thing too. It's a shame it's a big crop, as I might have suggested an even tighter crop, bringing even more focus on the youngster and using Dad as the BKG to give linkage and retaining a bit of the green FG.

Hi Dan - I'll try to explain my comment. For me, there's not a connection between the dad in the bg and Monroe with dad's head down the way it is.
Just my thoughts,
Rachel
