Australian clichés (part 2)

And now for an Australian cliché photo that was actually taken in Singapore... Surely that's original, right? :-)

i like this one. backlighting the 'roos makes them compositionally equivalent to the tree shadow. very clever; thinking ahead again i see.

Thanks. I didn't have much say in the backlighting; the sun was where it was, and so were the roos and the tree shadow. The only thing I had to do was wait for the roos to assume a photogenic position in relation to the tree shadow, which took a while. And just when I pressed the shutter, the joey averted its head, thus somewhat ruining my composition, but hey, such is life...

I was wondering if I'd made the shot too dark, but I don't think it works without the very dark shadows.

It's "okay" I suppose. A bit cliched for my liking though... :)

You, sir, are a very mean man.
