All in the moonlight Pale © 2010 Chris Armytage, Fine Art Photography, Daylesford

*"Said the Kangaroo,’I’m ready!
All in the moonlight pale;
But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady!
And quite at the end of my tail!’
So away they went with a hop and a bound,
And they hopped the whole world three times round;
And who so happy, — O who,
As the duck and the Kangaroo?

- Edward Lear"*

Photograph taken at Hepburn Springs, Victoria, Australia with a Panasonic FZ20, edited and layered with textures from my own photo stock in Photoshop CS3.

About Chris Armytage™

I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t create, it’s as natural to me as breathing, especially now that we have the tools to achieve great art with digital photography. It’s so exciting and I feel that my creativity has finally come to fruition with these fantastic digital tools.

    this is beautiful – we don’t have these little guys here in the US

  • Hi Anne! We’re very lucky to live in a country area and see them most evenings on our walk … thanks so much for your visit and the favourite :)

    FOR THE COLORS, SEEM A PAINTING..WONDERFUL CAPTURE

  • Hello my dear friend! The texture layer altered the colour a little so the colours aren’t quite true :)I also edited out the moon, it was too distracting! Thank you Anna, I am so very grateful for your support and wonderful comments :) xx
