I have to admit when the link first came up, I saw this guy squatting in front of what looked to be a piece of artillery...I thought, "cool, but not that cute" until I realized I needed to scroll down to see the koala.
It is certainly a rare occasion to be able to see and photograph a koala that is not captive in a zoo. I am jealous of the opportunity. I have to agree that the sky is not too cooperative. I am curious if you used some kind of flash on this one - seems like the face is just a bit lacking in depth, more like a flash would do that overpowers the ambient light a bit. Other than that, pretty cool shot and experience. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, December 31, 2009, 1:31:14 AM, you wrote: C> Gunnedah bills itself as the Koala Capital of the World.
