This shot just annoys me. I had everything right, and then at the last second the autofocus shifted on me because a freaking FLY flew in between us... and an instant later before I could take the next shot the baby bonobo stopped doing what he was doing and sat back down.

He was SO cute, I thought I would post the horrible out of focus picture anyway even though it is absolutely technically awful. My bad for not holding in the focus lock button on my 70-200 VR like I should have! At f/2.8 you have like ZERO room for error in focus.

I just flat blew the shot.

EXIF: D300, 70-200 VR (with VR on), 1/200, f/2.8, ISO 1600, custom white balance.
 
normally I don't like ape shots - but this one (at least very much in pose) is great!
One destined for the stage if ever there was one!

As you say a shame about the focus - one day cameras will be able to read minds - till then we just keep cursing them and ourselves ;)
