Hi Mary, your koala looks like he had a little attitude! Looks like he's thinking "All right all ready, take your darn picture so I can take a nap!" You definitely caught him in a moment we don't usually see! Lol Very cool and a lot of fun to view! Great focus and lighting let us really enjoy the shot! Good luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

Such a lovely photograph of this Koala Bear, they are so cute to see. Looks like he was studying you. I like the position in the fork of the tree. Your focus and clarity are good showing his cuddliness!

A very adorable visual presented here of the koala bear. It looks so content sitting in that tree. Composition shades, tones, and background draw your eye to the subject. Well done thank you for sharing.

I am so jealous with your experience while walking on the trail and find this Koala making its way down this tree. Informative artist notes. I like how you have showcased this beautiful marsupial indigenous to Australia, in its natural habitat. It seems that he really gave you the chance to capture him perfectly and he was looking at you, too. All angle considered, this is a well-captured image and thank you for sharing Australia to us.

    Thanks so much, appreciate the high rating and yes he was moving around for awhile to try and get comfortable. :)

A very cute capture of this Koala watching you. He certainly appears to be looking quite intently with almost a smile on his face.
Great composition in this koala's natural environment with clear focus. Thanks for sharing Mary!

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that strange animal and its location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Lovely capture! Looking at this photograph, one can't help but feel a sense of peace and wonder at the majesty of the animal world. It serves as a powerful reminder of the need to preserve and protect these incredible creatures and their fragile ecosystems.Good luck!

    Thanks Seshadri so true we are lucky in South Australia that the Koala are doing well in other places men has destroyed so much of the habitat that they are struggling to survive.
