Oh Ann! This is amazing. We don't have panda's at our zoo for some reason, so they are such a treat for me to see. You did such an amazing job. To me it is Asia at its finest :)

I love these blooms - usually you see shots further out showing the whole thing, so this is a nice change, focusing on the details. The softness of the color here is quite lovely.

Great shot, Ann. I've seen those pandas many times and they have never posed like this for me. They're usually asleep. Excellent job on post-processing. Congrats on top 20.

Interesting subject in a potentially interesting location. Good job with focusing on the details. Point of view could have been better, IMO.

Comment by K3Master:
Ralph should have listened. They had told him, warned him, that this would happen. They had admonished him, threatened him, pleaded with him. They had done all they could to try and avert him from this end, but he wouldn't listen.

He should have listened.

Now, as he lay there day after day, unable to move, relying on the care of others that were quickly becoming tired of caring for him, slowly deteriorating and lamenting his failing health, he wished he had listened.

Then, he glanced over, and saw it there, and with tears in his eyes he somehow managed to struggle and take the object of desire in his mouth and savored the sweetness of it and hated himself for it at the same time.

He should have listened, but oh, those Ding-Dongs were so very tasty.
