This was a hard shot to capture. Unfortuately he was behind glass, causing a lot of reflection issues. I converted the photo to black and white in Photoshop. The koala is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia.

I sure know about those challenging shots to capture Jim! They are such gorgeous creatures, precious and sweet, I just love them. My favor~IT~e animal!!! Black and white is a big favorite, because it doesn't look quite up to snuff. Although you have captured the perfect expression of a Koala who was behind glass rather than the outdoors, nibbling on eucalyptus leaves. But you did get the koala awake. Their diet does leave them a little groggy. Thank you for sharing. LvFv Janet
