Many of your shots are great but htis one is particularly striking!

What a happy accident to catch the giraffe in this position that emphasizes that elegant neck!

Lucky you!

Thanks scholora, we watched him for ages, he was lovely. It was wonderful to go on a walking safari and get so close to the giraffes in particular

Thanks Kim. He was quite calm, considering how close we were. It was a wonderful experience, to be able to go on a walking safari

This is amazing. Love the fact the giraffe can be so relaxed even with people around. Thank you for such a great shot.

A unique pose and capture. Indeed not to often one can see a giraffe in such a position. It creates a wonderful perspective and sense of hight when compared to the trees in the bg. Excellent use of DOF.

I’ve never seen a giraffe that wasn’t on her feet! This is awesome.
