OH... this is SO sweet. My favorite part: their ears --- which you so aptly focused. Adorable. Nice framing with the tree branches too!

Aren't they darling? I love that they are hugging. So special. The focus is good but the lighting is way too bright. I would have used contrast or reduced the brightness in your post production. I think you would have had a 6 then.

Love the soft tones here, and the feeling the image projects. The diagonal to the lower right, the trunk extending up ion the right, and the other elements in the background lead the eye very effectively in my opinion.

Lovely shot of a tender moment. I wish the picture was sharper with better contrast. You have timed it well. But I like this particular mother and child moment! Thanks for sharing!

This is a wonderful shot of mother and baby koalas. One can feel the love in this photo. The embrace is so perfect as one can see the little hands holding on. Fur looks so soft, the moms face is very clear. I want to cuddle both of them.

Comment from OLIVER23
The picture is dimmed but I think it was done intentionally to bring out the color of the fur, right? What can I say? I will say my wife´s second cousin lives in Paris and should see this zoo. Is it in Paris, a suburb or just where exactly? Camilo Alvarez is his name, he´s an engineer by trade and married a stunningly beautiful woman who is an engineer, too. Don´t know them I bet as they are both in late twenties, I would guess. Regardless, love Koalas and your picture is almost as good as they are :) ... but not quite.
