Unusual beggar, a photo from South Australia, West

Photographer's Note

This cool guy was hangin' around the Flinders Chase National Park's parking lot, near the main building where you buy the camping permits - for more info on this park check these sites: Flindres' webpage and Wikipedia link.

Always waiting for the tourists to give them some food, these guys have grown less and less fearful even though not agressive at all.

You can also check some of my other photos of Kangaroo Island here, here and here.

PP consited in a 50% unsharp mask + desaturating + slight decrease in brightness + cropping + framing (it sounds more PP than it actually is ;-P). I chose the B&W because the colors were pale already...

Hope you like it.

great rui, I love the POV, the touch-ups worked out well too...I particularly like the road and line in the background - gives it a very gritty feel. Good job!

very cute, if a little small, you really should not be feeding wild animals, you seem to prefer the portrait format, which is fine, thought I think I prefer to see his tail as well, anyway I will post a bad photo of my version to workshop.
