Photographer's Note

A kangaroo (/ˌkæŋɡəˈruː/) is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning 'large foot'). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, especially those of the genus Macropus, red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo and western grey kangaroo. Kangaroos are endemic to the country of Australia. The smaller macropods are found in Australia and New Guinea. (From Wikipedia)

Most unique animal can be seen on a zoo, unless you take a tour, Eleu, in the wilderness of Australia, half-way around the world.
It has a special pose, can't explain this - but no other creature stand like this.
Lovely pic. of one great animal.

Hi Eleu
A kangaroo with attitude. Mr Roo looks very relaxed, no stress and you, you the photographer, you were so worried about how to take this picture without disturbing him I'm joking. Knowing how to relax is important and you have captured the mood very well, Elue. Certainly he appears to be enjoying the good weather. What a cute cool character and I am thinking of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo a very famous Australian tv show. Looks good to me, although personally I'd prefer Mr Roo to be more to the right of frame. The last time I personally touched Mr Roo was in 1987 in Perth WA. This is another good TE contribution, Elue. Have a great day. Cheers!
Warm regards

Hello Eleu! It is very nice this animal Kangaroo and I combine with Australia! A good illustration maybe not in the nature of course? But in a park? Been accustomed to photographers!
best regards

Hello Eleu,

I like the position of these Kangaro, lovely with the hear and an eye.
Animals are always a very nice subject for take a picture.
But TE members have sometimes an other idea, and bring very few visit.
Very nice picture, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hi Eleu

What a nice to surprise to see this little Aussie in America. You captured him well, in profile, looking very proud and happy in the sun. Nice work, and thanks for bringing us a little bit of Oz.

Warm regards
Lisa

Ciao dear Eleu,
I just returned last month from a trip to Australia where I could see and caress this curious animal. It's was a pleasant experience. I like your photo, because it has a beautiful light and a perfect sharpness. Congratulations!
Ciao, have a nice Wednesday!
