Red Panda...panting

Description

Taken at the Cincinnati Zoo. f5.6 @ 1/125, tripod, fill flash. This little guy kept trotting very quickly around the exhibit on a well worn path, until he finally had to pause to catch his breath! Just happened to look straight up at me for a quick portrait.

Thanks, Jan, Rob, Charlene, Joy, and Cathy for your great comments!

Cathy, I just went to your gallery (wow! impressive) and I love the shot that you have of the red panda. Such soft lighting. He looks so cuddly!
Thanks again for the comment!

Great capture, Marie! I spend a lot of time at the Cincinnati Zoo, so I know how hard it is to get a good shot of one of these guys! Well done. #419685

I think I'm caught up now! I've purposely saved this one to come back to, as it is my clear favourite of the month. You've got several potential winners already this month, but this one has my vote. It's got the colours, the detail, the eye contact, the catch light...it's got EVERYTHING! Most of all, this animal is very timid, even in captivity. I see fabulous bear and great cat photos often (yours included), but this is truly a rare gem (and so is Cathy's, I agree). Great work! Congratulations once again on both of your February finalists! Although there are many great photos this month, I'm confident that I'll be writing this to you again in April after they post the March contest results! #435095

CONGRATULATIONS again, Marie! I am so excited for you placing SIX times in this month's finals:-) #482318

Eric Highfield level-deluxe April 14, 2004

Geez... I should quit photography and become a fortune teller!! All of my predictions about your March submissions have come to pass! Here's one more.... I predict this one turning from silver to GOLD!! #483050

Eric Highfield level-deluxe April 14, 2004

oops... forgot to mention that it's still my favourite, but I think you've guessed that. How does this one print out by the way? Could rake in a fortune! #483053

Eric Highfield level-deluxe April 15, 2004

Still golden in my eyes! Congrats again on a stellar display of photographic skill with all SIX of your finalists!! #485695
