Taken at the Kangaroo Center in Dawsonville Georgia, the largest collection of kangaroos outside of Australia. This joey and its mom were out and about right after a rain shower and I suppose the little one didn't want to get wet.
I wasn't presented with many chances to get shots of joey's peeking out of the pouch, usually their feet/tail are sticking out and they are nursing.

Thanks for the nice comments... teh kangaroos are so red because, well, they are "reds". Much more orange than the greys that were there. I knew the tail on the kangaroo on the left was going to cost me, but I figured that cloning it out or masking it with a dodge would have been "cheating" a bit too much.
This picture seems to be on a hill? However, I love the mom kangaroo and her little Joey and this is really a rare animal to be captured at zoos. Great color but perhpas te lighting could have been more just.
Very nice! I really like the color contrast in this image, the brown skin against the green grass really makes the kangaroo pop out. Did you do a lot of post-processing? II think the tail of the kangaroo on the left distracts the attention too much, but I guess you didn't have many options here. Anysway, this is a very good pic.
