Back to clarify my comment, especially in light of Ubique's. I love every aspect of this, except at the very bottom of the frame where the tree appears to grow out of the giraffe. I really like the inclusion of the rest of it (and I concede it would look pretty silly without the bottom..) and love the way the giraffe's head appears above the leaves. I hadn't consciously considered that the foreground tree/bush, acted as an echo of the form of the animal, but I appreciate the photo all the more for having that connection pointed out. Edit: Deserved a much higher finish tan this |
Don't worry Sara :)
This is probably my favourite picture of my trip in South Africa, and make me smile every time I watch at it. Of course it would have been great to be in the Top 10, but I'm really happy to have it in my gallery.
And as too often happens:
Avg (participants): 5.6207
Avg (non-participants): 6.7667
This also make me smile :)
Thank you all |

| Always love a good giraffe shot. Shame it has so many distracting elements in front of it, already voted. |

| Absolutely gorgeous photo - the branch in front of the giraffe bothers me a little, but hey, I can live with that :) |

| Raffa the Giraffa: took me a while to get it, alas. It's a very nice giraffe picture; I've taken hundreds myself and never tire of it, nor of looking at giraffe photographs generally. They are the supermodels of the bush; always posing and looking elegant. One terrific bonus element of this picture to delight we serious giraffe artists is that the small foreground tree echoes the aspect of the giraffe's body. And that makes the picture much better for having the tree there ΓΆ€“ at least it does for me. Thank you. |
