Who can resist a panda? Either praying or doing her yoga exercises. No disrespect intended. the exposure is perfect, the dof good, and the sharp, sharp detail. Thank you for sharing. Really!!

Comment from jrconrad
Not sure I see the title, but as I keep trying to remind people this is not about titles. I'm sure it's quirky, but I like the optical illusion. The ears can be eye and the eyes can be nostrils of some odd animal. Very interesting shot. Cheers, James.

right: he isn't praying because he doesn't know who is Buddha; lol; many thanks again

Comment from Sange
Ha! What a great title and fun pose you captured Fred. After much debate and testing we now know that the panda is a member of the bear family, where for years it was argued that it came from raccoons.
Love the prayer like pose, fine focus , nice exposure/white balance control and fab greenery framing this sweet Bear out.
Nice shooting!

I didn't know that supplication was part of the Buddhist tradition. If anyone would know it would be this beautiful panda. I like the bamboo in the shot and the outstanding colors. Great detail in both the black and whites.

Very cute title. Does look like he is praying. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of the praying panda is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Great eye and great job overall.

Taking photo may be easier then painting a panda, but I find that even photos can get messed up. I like this one, crisp and clear and natural.
