Reflection by Majed Ali, Kuwait Winner, Animal Portraits
Majed Ali glimpses the moment a mountain gorilla closes its eyes in the rain. Majed trekked for four hours to meet Kibande, an almost 40-year-old mountain gorilla living in Uganda. “The more we climbed, the hotter and more humid it got,” Majed recalls. As cooling rain began to fall, Kibande remained in the open, seeming to enjoy the shower.
