Photographer’s Note
We had a beautiful day Sunday, so we took the boys and my nephew to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. The Koala bears were crawling around through their trees and this little guy just gave it up and fell out on that limb. (I know just how you feel, little dude..LOL) He actually looked pretty comfortable there and VERY relaxed. :))) Pretty cute little critters. Hope you enjoy it.

how did you get my portrait, Shelly? :)) this is so me every single morning (and most of the afternoons as well), lol :))
I see that Didi already mentioned sharpness, but that's a minor point (did you take this through the glass?), the quality is very good, you can see every single hair in his fur.
thanks, you made me laugh :)
best,
Kristine

Hi Shelly,
Looks like he is enjoying a well deserved brake from entertaining all the gawking tourist.
Actually too cute for words is this exhausted dude that is seen in wonderfully sharp details and cuddiely texture.

Hello Shelly,
Really good title for the picture !
And very good capture of this cute animal. Even when he turned his head away, we can still see one eye open. The sharpness of his fur on the pic is wonderful.
Best regards, Paul

That's a very well-chosen title for such a lovely photo. Maybe he is bored to be in the zoo or just relaxing I don't know. But he looks very cute. Regards, Tolga

Hi Shelly
Great shot, LOL alright! I suspect this is a not uncommon pose for a Koala, they are pretty laid back creatures. Well done!
