Yummy...
Photo taken with my Canon PowerShot S5 IS camera, May 2008, in LA Zoo, California.
Found on the Internet:
Don’t bother me now!—“Recent research at the University of Western Australia identified the [slightly] protruded tongue as a particularly effective cue for this message” (Burgoon et al. 1989:411).
Well… This giraffe may be VERY bothered now – or s/he has just enjoyed an exeptionally tasty leaf… ;-)

Thank you both, Kathy and… salsbells(?). Yes, I had luck, but, if I remember correctly, I was on “continuous”. this way I happen to surprise myself sometimes with unexpected nice moments.

Your giraffe is much more sophisticated than mine.

How did you get into the position to take such a photo…a floating fantastic photo which will never be replicated.
Love your approach which seems like I ought to say ‘stretches’ the ones own boundaries of thinking.

Gili Orr replied
Oh, I think I took this giraffe in a “continuous” mode… it takes a lot of space on the card, to take many shots of something, but sometimes you get wonderful surprises ;-)
Not sure what you mean about my approach though… unless you refer to my other works…
Thank you sooo much for this lovely comment, Colin!!
