he really is adorable Fred! Love that look. I think the title fits! Lovely colors and good focus. Got some nice textures too. Whites are super hard to get with compacts. Don't have the same control. Top shot.

Hi, well we all love to see a panda, and this one is quite cute too. Photograph is taken very well, with good focusing and with a good visual impact. We have also a good pose from the panda thrown in to the mix. Nice to see this, Thankyou

Comment from ELAINE'S PHOTOGRAPHS
O my what a cute picture!! Softness of the pandas fur along with the bg makes for a fabulous picture. DOF and Comp are wonderful here! Only thing I would have done would be to tone down the highlights on the pandas face, other then that, wow!

Knowing how hard these guys are to photograph at Adelaide Zoo full credit to you on this one. The focus and composition is great. Capturing him awake is a bonus but about to eat up the bamboo leaves is great. :)
