Ha...this one makes me laugh. Your title plus the captured action of the critter can be interpreted as a Country Line Dance! Great job with your camera! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I thought the upright stance was just strange enough to post :)

I am ceratainly taken by this Takin. Sorry for the pun I couldn't help myself.
Your camera settings bring this take to life.
The color range and lighting of the take are well balanced and contribute nicely to the overall eye appeal of your composition.
DOF is excellent for the subject matter. There is strong detail across the entire image.
The framing of this composition is not cluttered and speaks well of the subject matter.
Thanks for sharing ... B-)) Bob

Comment from Stringbean
Good artists notes thanks for the detailed information on this unusual Takin. Good camera techniques and nice is your stop action. Your framing, focus, lighting, clarity, and contrast are good. I like that you have caught him just after spinning and his wonderful expression. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

The name was not familiar but after looking on the internet I recognized the animal. A remarkable shot; the pose almost looks like a man in an animal suit. Very nice colors and excellent details.

Thank you very much! I probably should have included in my notes that they walk on all fours, since this shot makes it look like he may be walking upright! Like a man in an animal suit :)
Comment from Sean T Phelan
It's most definitely an unusual looking creature,Grace!
The semi bipedal stance that this playful juvenile is assuming here serves to enhance the 'unusual' aspect very nicely!
'Good Show',my friend! : )

Nice info notes!
Indeed, they are like the mythical dragon whose body parts are combinations of various animals!
Sharply focused, cute & candid, still motion shot.
He looks adorable & gentle.
Thanks!

I have to admit that I've never seen one of these animals but it definitely looks interesting and playful. You captured this playful creature in a pose that is so cute. Nice composition and focus! Well done.

Hello envision
Good initial impact. I have never seen this kind of animal before. I have no idea where they live but I would like to know.
Nice sharp capture and really good colors. I like the impression on his face He probably wonders where you came from.
There appears to be an expression on his face suggesting he saw you at about the same time you took this shot.
Nice background and I can understand why he might be playing here.
I Like this image. Thank you for sharing this today.

These guys live in the Himalayan mountains between India and China. They are a protected species in China.
