    This large male Eastern Grey Kangaroo was quitely grazing but kept pausing to survey the rest of the mob and in particular a couple of younger males fighting (submitted here yesterday). It was misting rain and I was taken by the setting, partly moist fur tips and also the powerful build of the fella.

    Rod - nice action pose and it definitely conveys power. It looks a little over-sharpened to me. I wish the tail wasn't clipped to the left. I haven't seen these other than in a zoo or on tv/movies but I'm wondering if the yellows should be reduced. You would obviosuly know better.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Rod, I like the way you've composed this 'roo but I also would prefer the tail not to be clipped. I think their is a slight colour cast evident on the pale fur on the chest. I am enjoying your kangaroo images very much, much clearer views than I get in the bush around our property.

    ROd,

    I like the posture of him as it looks like he is getting ready to do something - imparts impending action. I agree with the over-sharpened clipped tail comments above.
