 Shot this at the local cemetery. There are vast grounds and bushland and heaps of wild kangaroos. Used my worst lens for this one but it came out sort of ok. I caught this guy lounging under a tree. He was quite happy until one of my sons came running over the hill to find me and the roo got startled! *click*

cute picture, perhaps a more interesting pose would help it score higher, though this makes it look like he's just chillin in the shade and stuff lol. Its nicely in focus and stuff. 8

Nice, but the position of the animal fails to highlight it's strengths.

What a pose: very elegant legs.

That's the idea I started with! looks a bit too green to be it's natural habitat - and I do know, my uncle's farm borders on a wildlife sanctuary and it is certainly not green up there now! EDIT TO ADD Upon reflection, down in Albany or Augusta or somewhere down that area there may still be green grass. Aweseome shot, exactly what I wanted to do initially but couldnt really pull it off with my p.o.s., 10 for you, great aussie shot!

cool shot, that's one relaxed roo! voting as though this was in its natural environment and not a zoo.

Position in the frame is good; would like the eye brought out a little more and more contrast with the background.
