[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The giant panda is an endangered species, the Chinese call the panda, da xiongmao - the big bear-cat. The panda's digestive tract and carnivore's teeth are poorly adapted to their largely vegetarian diet. Half of Sichuan's panda habitat was lost to logging in 1974-1989. The panda's main diet is bamboo.

In response to the plight of the panda the Chinese government set up a panda study programme in Wolong in association with the World Wide Fund for Nature, accompanied by a successful breeding programme. They also arrest (and sometimes executed) people who harm panda's.

Seeing the panda's was one of the highlights of my visit to China.

Hello Jean,

The panda is nicely balanced in the composition by the bamboo branch he's holding. The scattered green leaves across his chest, although messy, give a bit of contrast against a black and white subject.

You've done well to capture him with his tongue out.

A very good photograph.

I'm always interested to see what you can achieve with a camera similar to mine.


Regards,

Peter.

Hi Jean,

This is a great shot and a funny one, it makes me smile :-)
I like the composition, good colours and this pose looks just great. I wanna look at this more often, so it's going to my favorites.
TFS and have a good weekend!
