I love this capture of the giraffe - it being off center leads your eye to pan the whole photo. Good choice of foreground and background, it gives the viewer a few other focal points than just the giraffe, enhancing the true genuineness of the environment.

Comment from Monica Morrell
Giraffes are such beautiful animals. Their coats are so intricate. Designed beautifully by God. For such tall animals they appear so graceful. Your image is a reminder of their beauty!
Best of luck in the contest.

welcome

This is a very good photo of the giraffe. I like the all the brush and trees around him. It takes the shot away from just a snap shot. One leg is covered by twigs but you see the other three

This is a impressive shot of the giraffe. You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Celyn1
This is a well lit picture of a running giraffe. It makes you wonder what he/she is running from or too - did you know? The colours are good and it does look in focus so well done.
Good luck with it

No idea

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is beautifully captured. You have captured his movement as well as his spots and other features of his handsome physique. The sky is nice. The foliage and grasses are well seen as well. Best wishes in the contest, artist friend.

He wants to show you how fast je can run. Lol. Nice capture. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this giraffe running ia great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Comment from Shadow catcher
A great photo of this lovely giraffe seen in it's natural surroundings, love the off center placement, that along with the tall brush and trees creates a very balanced and enjoyable image. Must be so incredible to see them in their natural habitat instead of a zoo; best wishes to you in this contest!
