Red panda

Happened to be at the Miller Park Zoo when the new pair of red pandas were placed in their new exhibit for the first day. The female is quite relaxed in her new home. Used flash to soften shadows.

These guys are so cute. Nice detail and texture in the trunk and the fur. Well done.

Think I would attempt to remove the stick going across his face. Not easy, but can be done.

Nice comp, John. "Quite relaxed" is exactly how I'd describe this pose.

Beautiful specimen. If only the twig were not crossing the face.... Your exposure looks very good.
