Boxing Kangaroos (with repost)

Again taken last year during my travels. This was taken during an early morning walk near to where we were camped. I turned a corner to find a small group of roos feeding, I sat down to watch and after 10 or so minutes these 2 males began to play fight. It was almost as if they were doing it just for me as the stronger one of the 2 on the right would keep on looking at me as he held the other down, as if he wanted me to applaud him Great to watch and a moment I'll never forget.

Thanks.

Must have been a cracking experience Paul, infact the whole Hillion lifestyle looks like a cracking experience

Personally I'd prefer this portrait-style I think, and the only thing I don't like about it is the OoF roo fence - who wasn't checking his BG

Excellent behavioural shot - definitely caught the moment. Minor nit is the fence, but it's PS-able. Must have been a real experience to watch these.

Thanks guys, I will have a go at the fence later today and will repost the result.
