Part of the visceral response I get from looking at this image I imagine comes from the similarities between these two chimps and humans. The way the chimp on the left is folding it's arms, the way the smaller and probably younger chimp on the right is clinging to the other. The body language is relatable on a human level. I get a sense of relaxation and contentment from these two animals, I'm guessing they're probably asleep. I also like the lines in this photo, the way the one tree branch wraps around the other, similar to the way the younger ape is wrapped around the other, and the folded arms of the ape on the left. It brings a sense of coherence within the image as a whole. I like the texture of the branches, the wrinkles and wear of the wood is clearly visible.
