at the zoo yesterday ..
this is uncropped .. only using the canon 100mm fixed lens today .. sometimes you just cant move far enough away from your subject ... too many ppl and nowhere to get a good shot .. but i dont mind the half face for this ..

Roz! I LOVE THIS!! You guys did SO GOOD! It's hard to get a giraffe picture that doesn't look cliche, isn't it. You have certainly accomplished it here tho. This is awesome!

Giraffes are amazing animals, aren't they? And, so incredible looking! I love how you've framed this one with light and dark. Very subtle and soft.

I simply love this image.. I love animals pictures and Zoos. I don't live close to one either so it's few and far between to visit a zoo..
Terrific image.. You have a good eye:)..

very nice and different composition of a giraffe. A bit dark, but otherwise I like it.

Yeah, I'm a zoo person too. SandyP and I have met at the San Antonio one on more than one occasion and we want to crawl over the railings and pet all of them. LOL I like the crop and the dark of this. It tells a story (although I'm not awake enough to know what that is. LOL)

It's so moody and interesting. The half face is very intriguing - not your usual happy happy zoo shot - this one has a story. Love the colors and the lighting - and whatever you used on this.

I would go to the zoo here, but it's HUGE and lots of concrete and as you know, I live in the desert where it's freaking hot most of the time.

Perfect as usual, and one of my favorite animals.....
