OOOHHHHHH,this is so sweet.
What an awesome photograph. Nice clean picture with great soft color and a wonderfully warm moment.
This is beautiful.

I like the lighting for this. It is calming and not bright.
Great timing too, you had to be there for that shot.

Comment from Cephus
Subject is wonderful, great story telling and nice composition but that said, the quality of the image is horrible. I realize that conditions were against you but then again, good photogrpahy still requires good quality execution.

What a neat photo of these two, each hugging the other. Perfect title for this one Fred. An adorable mom and baby in a big embrace and mom is awake. These guys sleep all the time and every time I've been at a zoo that has them the eyes are shut! Good photo and perfect title.

A tender moment. I love the scene per se. High five on substance and content. This surely melts my heart. Well captured and is a JOY to view.

What a gorgeous picture of mother and baby koala, as they embrace. Such a tender moment, expertly captured on camera.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
This would do well in an awwwwww contest.

It feels painterly and soft and you have very little contrast on this, but in it's softness it is beautiful.

Emotional and gorgeous to look at.

How could you go wrong shooting Koalas. Well you didn't. They are cute cuddly and in focus, nicely captured in a hugging pose. Picture is a little washed out so I would have liked to have seen the print with a little more contrast and color.

This is an adorable photo. Your focus and framing are both perfect. I do think the lighting is a little too strong, but that's just my opinion. Other than that, it is a wonderful photo :) Thanks for sharing :)
