So cute panda, a photo from Sichuan, Central

Photographer's Note

Observed and photographed in Chengdu Giant Panda Research and Reproduction Center. A threatened species that the Chinese have made an emblem.
Nice animals that evoke a cute « teddy bear », they have two main occupations: eat and sleep !

Bonjour, cher Jean,
C'est vrai que c'est adorable de voir un tel animal en train de se régaler avec sa baguette de bambou (20 kg par jour, alors qu'il ne le digère pas : les mystères de la nature).
Une prise de vue très bien faite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Salut Jean
Before I even saw the title of your photo I thought to myself "so cute". :-) But also the way you took this photo is brilliant, not just a portrait but showing behaviour of this amazing species. Perfect timing, the way he holds the bamboo shoot is fantastic!
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Jean,
it is an interesting place and a good photo. I like the left- overs on his belly.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hello Jean,
A very nice portrait of the panda, no doubt looking very cute. You saw it in a perfect position and managed a just as perfect photo.

Bonjour Jean,

Tu as bien capturé le panda qui mange une pousse de bambou. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du Panda. La lumière fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hello Jean,
An excellent portrait of this bamboo-eating panda. Especially the way it sits up like a human being makes it even cuter. Good and sharp photo with a fine green backdrop as well.

Salut Jean

You got reflections in the eyes which enhances this endearing shot of the panda munching on a fresh bamboo shoot. Good sharpness and selective focus too. Tfs!

Bonjour Jean,
I have seen two of these super lazy animals in Toronto.
There, too, they did nothing but eat and sleep.
If they didn't look so cute, they would probably have died out a long time ago. Now it is a nice export product from China.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Excellent close-up with fine colors, details of its "face", especially the eyes and feathers of this rare Panda, Jean.
Bonsoire'e,
Ike

Bonjour Jean,
people say it is not good to photograph somebody while they are eating, but I suppose it does not apply to animals and indeed the fact that the panda eats the bamboo adds a lovely touch here.
I have heard that is what they do most of their life similarly to koala bears. So I suppose you could have it either eating or sleeping :)
Brilliant portrait, they are so extraordinary, and of course when in China, you had to see one!
Excellent reportage,
M

Bonjour Jean, a charming picture. It’s almost as if the panda knows what you want him to do!
The sharp quality is excellent, the soft fur is so clear. You have even captured the catchlight in its eyes.
Kind regards,Jean.

Hello Jean,
This panda is absolutely adorable...but he also has very long nails! I like how you captured him eating his bamboo. The details are great. I can even see his teeth, and he seems to be looking right at you. :-) Nice greenery in the background, too.

jmdias (116287) 2019-12-06 8:27

jean

when I visited china I said to the guide I didn't want to see pandas nor three gorges. not because I didn't like them, but because I would like to see the more cultural side of china. a nice portrait of the animal eating the bamboo.

take care
