Saw this guy while down around Melbourne on the Great Ocean Road. Just sitting up a tree near the road (actually there was about a dozen of them).

Taken with the 100mm Macro, and cropped.

Good picture and nicely presented. I noticed you used your 100mm. How close do they let you get? He looks pretty relaxed up there.

You can get reasonably close, he was about 5m up a tree. Did some "digital cropping" and framed it better. My 100mm was my best quality lens for the shot.

Man I gotta go back there. Sweet shot. Last time I was there I wasn't "as into" photography as I am now.
