Wow! Wonderful detail in soft light. Good exposure control and DOF.

A Panda with the munchies. Fine capture, Debapratim. I love the tongue.

What a blessing to actually capture this photo of a Red Panda in the wild! I have only seen and photographed them in a zoo. This is really nit picking it might seem, because this is an awesome photo as is, but I am finding my eyes wanting to go to that tiny bright spot just right of the blade of grass to the right of him, and in the corner there is a tiny piece of greenery that wants to attract my attention as well. I think if you could clone those out, it would improve this already excellent and unique (because of the subject) image. Just a thought. It is great as it is.

Great photo. These guys rival kittens for cuteness.

Great details and stunning capture! The beaming eyes and tongue is a big plus.
The leaf on the RHS is unfortunate, but you couldn't do anything about it.

Excellent red panda image! As good as any I have seen from zoo red pandas. Good catch of the action. One of my favorite small mammals. Thanks for sharing.
