Comment from Envision
This is adorable! I like the expression you captured. I have not seen one of these before and I think it's interesting how the markings and shape of the face are much like a raccoon and a fox. Very interesting, and cute!

What a stellar capture over that head - the lighting is perfection and your fellow's head has very grand detail. I do wish his body was a bit more available but it must be in the shade! Grand shot! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Debi, yes he was in shade but so unusual that he was not hiding as is his normal practice. :) Mary

Mary,
A wonderful picture of one of the shy Red Pandas looking down on you from it's perch under the shade of the trees canopy. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Ohh...he is so cute! His white head makes him easy to spot. Your focus is good although he is hiding in shade. He looks friendly.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Joel, his enclosure is right opposite the black and white pandas but I really like the red ones much cuter :) Mary

hi Mary,
my pleasure as it sounds you have great photo ops.
pretty limited here as things shut down and more of a resort for the island people.
always,
ron
