 well this really does show you where i live .. you can see the city of sydney in the background ..
also on the right hand side you can see the opera house and another landmark is centrepoint tower ..
these giraffes are huge ..
they had a statue of a new born giraffe and it was much taller than me .. probably the size of a medium sized horse .. different proportions tho ..
the bird cage looking thing is where they put their food .. his head isnt inside it .. !!!

ppl have asked how i processed this ..
this is the workflow which only tells part of the story but it does give you an idea ..


and this is the extremely ordinarly original photograph unprocessed ..

I was thinking you might be a giraffe, but it seems your house is in the background in Sydney. Thanks for the tutorial. The giraffe's look hungry. Great photo and processing.

Wow - you really made this pop! As perverse it is in a way, I like the city in the background and the fact that you can see the famous opera house. Excellent job, Roz!!! Totally stunning with the colors and the activity of the giraffes. The one poking out its tongue is especially intriguing and funny!!

OMG, what a great face on that giraffe with his tongue out! This looks like an illustratiuon from a really interesting children's book. Now all you need is the story to go with it :-) Quite the contrast between the giraffes' little world and the city, too. Really quite a fabulous image; I like it a lot.

This is awesome, has almost a Dave Hill look to it, but with a twist. Great work!

Very cool. I've always wanted to vsit Australia but lately I am finding I don't like the heat and humidity so I am rethinking my idea.
