When I went trecking for chimpanzees in Uganda, getting good photos proved more difficult than I had thought. More often than not, the chimps were high in the canopy of very large trees, with a bright white sky as a backdrop. That being said, I was able to get a few decent shots. I kind of liked the way that in this particular shot, the fig eating chimpanzee is emerging out of that field of black that dissects the composition.

In the canopy—the weight of the world upon him—then Atlas shrugged.
How appropriate on Dian Fossey’s birthday. (Yes, I know she was Gorillas.)
