It’s been about a year since I last posted a photo of my favorite primate species, the black-crested macaque. These guys are listed as critically endangered due to the continued loss of their habitat. They live only on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. This young macaque was just catching a bit of the late day sun on his face when I snapped the shutter. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 150mm), f/2.8 at 1/100th of a second (-0.67 ev) ISO 1600
