Taken at the Akron Zoo - Akron, OH
It's not often that I come to the zoo and see Zheng hanging around in an area for very long, or at least long enough for me to get a photo taken. Normally he's walking around his exhibit, smelling everything, marking it and otherwise just being a very active animals. Or he's hiding in some log sleeping the hot day away. Fortunately for me I was able to come upon him as he was eating his favorite food--bamboo--and rather than bury his head in the branches, he kept looking up at me as I rested my camera on the top of the plexiglass to get some photos.
Zheng is a red panda, also called a fire fox, and is a larger specimen than the one they have at the Cleveland Zoo. I always love watching him walk around because he has this waddling gait with those stocky legs that just looks adorable.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactIt'll be hard to write a critique because the shot is so gorgeous! I absolutely love Red Pandas and I have for many years! The quality of the photo is what first caught my eye, it really, honestly looks like I was right there looking at it at the zoo myself.
And you also captured his face really well, and the title gave me a nice laugh. He's a magnificent animal which was photographed by a clearly magnificent photographer, and the outcome was a lovely picture that is definitely being enjoyed by all of DeviantART.
This is a great picture, and I will surely go to look at more of your photographs!
