Koala, Australia (best viewed larger)

Gettting them to keep still is not the problem. Catching them awake,

now that is a challenge!

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers,

Mike

Very,very good portrait,well seen and done,regards Radu.

Outstanding subject, composition and exposure. I dream about taking pictures like this. Not realized yet.

They are such 'adorable' creatures Mike, and you've got yourself a 'winner' here! Congrats on a 'well timed' capture!........Gail

Mike this is excellent!! 7/6. I wanted to give you a seven but the system wouldnt let me.

Very sharp, clear and great blue background. He's a cute thing, except for those claws. Best to keep your distance, I'm sure.

Very cute. You must have been very cautions to get him pose for you. Regards.

Hello Mike. I say compatable in terms of the wonderful colors in this image. I feel that the blue background greatly enhances an already great image. Cheers.

Wonderful miracle. Very good work. Best regards

Cute little bugger. Great capture of the eyes. Hard to find one that is awake! GJ

I was just reading today that the Koala bear has very sharp claws, and I have to say they do look a bit fierce. This is absolutely a wonderful capture, the details and texture of the fur are excellent, perfect DOF and love him against the blue of the background...great shot! :)

Excellent shot . its looking is so nice and background colors make work more nice. well done....Regards HSP
