just a pretty face by koalagardens

just a pretty face

So nice to see Ash back, he does have a lovely face. Funny how seeing the photo result it looks like I just snapped a shot. In fact it took a lot of time moving carefully about until I could find a spot, quite some distance away where I could get a sighting through to his face. I have many photos with leaves obscuring most of him. All in a days fun on the sanctuary :)
Wonderful to see Ash back with you - sweet face , he looks so pensive !

@beryl yes, I had to move about a bit, off the quad trying to find a place where I could see through. so he was trying to watch me without looking directly at me 😆

He’s very studious in this photo. Serious too!

It doesn't look like a snap shot at all. It looks like you have spent time composing and framing him up between the leaves and branches. Such a gorgeous photo

It's a beautiful photo - and you are amazing how you can catch their faces from way up there in all the foliage. :)

Looking pensive, realising perhaps how pleased he is to be back.

Sometimes those ‘simple, candid’ shots take a lot of patience and work and then, very occasionally, you just turn around and your subject is there, just posing for you. That’s when I usually realize That I’ve got the wrong lens for the job. 😃

@gardencat I hear ya sister!

He looks to be something of an 'eminence grise' - he's one dignified koala.

Always neat to hear the behind the scenes of a shot

Great composition and presentation.

Ash looks like he is about to impart some very important koala wisdom here- so not just a pretty face. Your persistence worked in your favor- it's a good shot of him!

I can understand how it must be very difficult to get unobscured photos of these guys. Good job on this one!
June 14th, 2020  
he's sleepy!

Nicely done close-up

So sweet. Most of your koalas appear to be male, do you have many females on your property?
June 14th, 2020  
Wonderful stately face
June 14th, 2020  
yes, he is – good detail

Beautiful shot of his face! Glad you had the patience to wait for it!

Super capture.

Ash does have a lovely face.
June 14th, 2020  
I’m always amazed at the views you get since some of your YouTubes show how far away you actually are.

Such a handsome fella, nice job and good patience.

A lovely shot, well worth the effort!

handsome fellow!

@onewing since the drought-fires-torrential rains things have seriously changed in the colony and I haven't seen any of the females for months. I am left not knowing if they are nearby and fine or not. I know I lost one of the four I had here. Koalas are is serious trouble no matter how hard we work to save them.

@koalagardens Oh no that's awful, hope they return and are okay.
