Just looking at this, I don't think, I have any chance of winning in this contest. Strong contender, and what a pose. The panda is indeed, like a human being, just leisurely thinking here, in a very relaxed position. Superb angle, focus, lighting and strong technical skills. The natural background is just perfect. A Winner!

A lovely capture of this animal taking a relaxing lunch break. Great composition with vegetation in background. Focus and light are spot on.

Great looking shot!. Fine example of wild life photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the calm look on Panda's face very well.
Well done!

A great picture of this giant Panda enjoying it's lunch while relaxing on the green sloping bank as it shows away on the Bamboos in front of it. Beautiful composition, frame & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Very cute snacking on the bamboo and reclining back enjoying the sunshine. Nicely composed with soft but good focus.

One of the most beautiful creatures on our planet, one we almost let disappear in extinction. Enjoying it's natural laziness here, chewing a small brunch. It almost looks as if it was wearing sun glasses, perfect for the lazy occasion.
