Here's a shot of a White-handed Gibbon from Keang Krachan National Park in Thailand.  Difficult lighting but I loved the pose with the fruit in the mouth.
Canon 1DX II, 500F4 1/800 F5.6, iso 1250, Av mode, evaluative metering +1.0, handheld

It is a good pose for this lesser ape.  In spite of the light, I think you came up with a decent photo.  Thanks for sharing.

Nate,
The light was clearly not in  your favour, but the pose is great.

Not only difficult light Nate, but as I recall this guy was up quite a distance and we were on hill-my arms still hurt. Nice that you got such an open shot as he was eating his fruit.

This looks like this gibbon is trying out his Michael Jackson dance moves in the trees complete with the white glove. Despite the tough light this is a really good look at him.
