Alicia Vaccaro, Mum and joey (ENTRIES CLOSED - BIG AND SMALL)

At Cradle Mountain we were walking along the boardwalk and saw this wombat with a clearly bulging pounch. When she turned around we originally saw a little paw but eventually a little head poked out too! The joey looked so content in there and wasn't in any rush to leave. Camera: Nikon Z6 Lens: Nikkor Z 24-200mm Aperture: f/9 ISO: 400 Shutter speed: 1/80s Edits: lifted the shadows to get a good look at the joey's face and cropped the image
