Hi Chi

Wow, long time no see my friend. It is great to have the pleasure of seeing a posting from you again and as always been the case, not too shabby either. It seems like you are becoming a real "Oustraylien" by swanking with this lovely Roo (chuckle). What was it doing? Seems like it's uttering a primordial scream.

I just love this profiled portrait of the Eastern Grey. The backlighting has created a lovely play of light around the edges of the marsupial and similarly it shows some interesting detail in those forward pointing teeth. The details are excellent and the dark BG makes the animal stand out very well. The colours are well defined and the exposure was perfect.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Chi, excellent title on this one (though I don't think I've ever heard them howl before). The shot is great with this very good composition. You've caught him in a unique pose and managed to nicely fill the frame with it. The front lighting on him works very well in this side portrait shot providing us with excellent sharp detail and colour.

Thanks, John

Hi Chi,

Good shot,
