Heart-warming image of gorilla making friends with duckling among wildlife photography award winners

It was a scene that perhaps wouldn't have made the final cut of King Kong.

This lowland gorilla shares a moment of quiet reflection with a tiny mallard duckling, who seems fairly nonplussed about being in the presence of one of nature's most powerful beasts.

The heart-warming image is among Nature's Best Photography Magazine's wildlife photograph winners for 2010.
