Cute Red Panda

[Christopher Miller]

Still working through zoo photos. One of my favorite animals to photograph besides the elephants were the red pandas. They are so cute, they look like teddy bears!

I used one of my own textures, masking it off the panda, and one bokeh texture from Shadowhouse Creations. I also added a blur overlay.

Very nice, I like the blur except for on the eyes, maybe the eyes slightly sharpened.

the textures and color are good for this critters natural colors.

otherwise he looks like a cuddly stuffed animal ready for a hug.

Lovely image, Christopher. I like the soft blur, it does almost look like a cuddly toy! Nicely composed and great colors and texture. I only might like a little more detail in the white area of the face.

I like the image, as presented, of another rarely seen animal...I might remove the round highlite on the left edge, well done

Thanks Linz, Cindy, and Paul! I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Love the expression Christopher. Would make a lovely illustration for a children's book. I really like the softness.
