Wow what a great capture Mary of this little Joey partially poking his head out of his Mum's soft, cosy pouch to check what is going on. Not a common image, so well done! Nice clear details displayed with good clarity. Good lighting. A pleasure to view.

A very nice shot from a great perspective. The depth of field very good and the joey has an expressive face. Nice detail and great colors on this beautifully cropped image.

I wonder if there were ever any HUMANOID Marsupials,Mary?
Wouldn't THAT have been interesting?

Sorry for the mere 5 stars-wish I had a 6 star for you!! This photo made me wonder at first glance...then I realized what I was viewing which left me smiling and chuckling!! I think you have captured a wonderful response from your viewer! It is so unusual...one not often seen by many of us! Also, I love the tight composition as it totally relates to the image. Great photo!

Quite an amazing nature photo pressed here! Your excellent composition captures a very sweet moment in grand style!! It shows us how the little one looks at the big wide world with a lot of trepidation. Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great photo!!

Mary,
A fantastic picture of the Joey poking it's head out of it's mother's protective pouch while watching you closely. Beautiful & very interesting composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
