For a stock image I think I'd boost the contrast and color saturation a bit -- you want your image to jump off the page and attract the attention of the purchaser.

nice shot altho i think it would have benefited from a slightly wider aperture to reduce DOF to make background less distracting

Awww. . . really cute! At our zoo, it's hard to get close-ups of the giraffes because their area is so huge, and they always stand way in the back. So I really appreciate this close-up. Good luck.

I like the composition but the image appears a bit flat. Good Luck

Great photo. Well composed. A shallower DOF would improve it a touch.

I like the composition. The image appears a bit soft, should see more detail in the fur. Being an advanced editing challenge you may have tried selecting the giraffe, inverting, then blurring the background some more.

For stock photography, the background is a little busy. Good capture otherwise!
