 This photo moves me.

My son and I were at the zoo, when we happened upon the primate exhibit, and I saw this one ape holding a yellow bar above his head. Luckily I had my 100-400 attached, and was able to shoot through the fence.

Back home a little cropping and some Nik Color Efex Pro helped bring out the emotion.
