Awwww! that is so cute! Can I take one home? Absolutely perfect shot with the mother looking directly at you (no doubt telling you to stop laughing) and the joey seemingly unaware. My only comment would be it seems a bit bright and maybe lacking in contrast but still, a great shot.

Thanks so much, she was watching to make sure I didn't get any closer they bound off in a hurry if you get too close when joey is in pouch - will look at your suggestion re contrast :)

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
These creatures always make me smile - seems God has made them to make people smile and to admire diversity - this little one is rather big already to fit in so he has to do gymnastic to make it or keep stretching - amazing moment and you got it into your camera box - it seems MOM is posing for your and saying - look what I have to support but I love him ... Well framed - good focus, clear with the correct contrast

Thanks so much, really appreciate your feedback. I think Mom was also saying get any closer and I am off which several of them bounded before I got the shot :)

So cute!! Great eye to spot this cute one. It does look a little worried about the situation. I really like the expression on the mother. Very good use of the evening light.
