This is very nice. I love all the textures and details you captured from the rough rocks to his fur. His pose is adorable like he is an old man about to tell a story "back in the day". FYI... I went on a field trip to the zoo, took lots of pics (when I could) and won 1st place in a contest worth $2,500. I would contact the zoo also and see if they could use this image for a promotion.

This is such a sweet shot of the panda bear! I hear they can be ferocious but they always looks so sweet! The focus is great! The pose is very nice! The lighting and colors are great! Well done and thanks for sharing! Lilibug6

Thanks Lori they keep the male and female separate except when ready for mating otherwise they would fight. :-)
