I took this a while back now but was reminded of it this morning when i saw this friendly wallaby with it's joey this morning in the Dandenongs. The joey was pretty skittish so no shots today unfortunately. Anyway this shot was taken with the 80-400VR. I cropped this from horizontal as there were some bright leaves in the foreground. Shutter speed was 1/10 sec due to lack of of light so pretty happy with the sharpness. Cute little things. :)

Great capture Nicole. Even allowing for the VR, you must have a steady hand.

Terrific shot and nice color, Nicole. Awesome under the circumstances.

Those ears and that little mouth! Just great.
