Great shot Liz! I've found these guys liked to sleep ALOT! Getting them up and about, and being able to capture them is a real treat!

Liz, this certainly is a great photo and an excellent shot based on the challenges you faced to get it. Great subject ~ Great photo !!

I was quite a distance away. I'm not sure just how far. At wide angle, the Panda was a spot in the tree. But I used the B-300 on my Uzi.

To get this particular shot of the Panda hidden in the tree, I had to sit on the ground. Plus I also had to shoot between a physical barrier of a fence blocking the view. It was a bit tricky. However having waited for about a half hour to get an "interesting" shot, I was determined.

Other Zoo visitors were stepping over me and acting like I was out of my mind. LOL. I was lucky that my mom was with me and not my hubby. She has the patience to wait out a good photo with me. He doesn't.
