Burning bush

This portrait is inspired by the dire situation of our wildlife from the bush fire disaster.
I deliberately made the background dark and foreboding, which I would not normally have done for a 'roo portrait.
I took this 'roo shot in one of the areas heavily impacted by the first fires (but about a year ago when all was 'well'), outside our house. Although the village was saved, the bush was destroyed, along with all in it.

This is stunning Wylie, it definitely shows the dire situation these poor animals are in. The double exposed roo sure pops on black! Fav

Very expressive, and a super portrait of the 'roo. Such a shame about what is happening in Australia though ... it's actually quite hard to believe.

Nicely done. My heart breaks for all the devastation and loss of life occurring in Australia. Prayers for all.

Nicely done. The impact of the fires on wildlife is horrendous. I've heard musings about possible species extinction in some areas :(
