Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Where was this taken? For a minute I thought Healesville but then realised the structure in the background has chairs on a balcony, so I can't place it.
On one hand the washed-out background is distracting, but on the other hand it's helping to obscure some of the details of the background (e.g. the structure). Were you lying/squatting on the ground and looking up for this shot while someone else stood and provided shade over the roo's head? The shade is a bit uneven. We can see you're struggling for DOF: while the nose is sharp the eyes are not. Usually I try to keep the eyes sharp and then get as much of the face as sharp as possible. The viewer tends to look to the eyes and then to the rest of the face, and unfortunately tend to get turned off by OOF areas in close portraits like this (no matter how interesting the effect may have been in the viewfinder - I've fallen into this trap too many times  ).
Thanks for sharing it!
HI
Location is Ballarat Zoo. I was squating. Managed to take a candid shot when the kangaroo look up. It was midday and they are lazy.
I was testing out the canon 18-55 kit lens. It was hard to get sufficient DOF as the lens is at its minimum focusing distance. Yes, could have been better if the focus is on the eyes. 
regards, Arthur
