Panda's are undoubtedly very photogenic, but they can be a pain to photograph. This particular one was sleeping high up a tree, and I immediately liked the panda, the tree, and the background. All I needed was for it to wake up, even if only for a few seconds. Right. Well, it appears that pandas can sleep for a very long time. But I was determined to get the shot, because some law says that once you decide to give up and pack up your gear, amazing stuff will happen. So I waited for what seemed like an eternity in the blazing sun, sweating like the proverbial pig. This strategy doesn't always work, but I'm happy it did this time. Not only did the panda wake up just before I gave up, it turned towards me in what without a doubt is the nicest panda pose I've ever seen. Good things come to those who wait. Sometimes.
