Marc,

Interesting colours, I know that the sky and Giraffe can be like this so I think they are OK.

Nicely sharp and you had sun how unfair is that:)

Hi Marc interesting comp which works well, it obviously lends itself to a landscape crop, but might suggest a slightly tighter one.

Say half the space above the shoulder and come in on the rhs where the leg makes a clean 'butt' to the edge and removal of the small bush just creeping in on the left. Just a thought, but might be too tight?

TFS
Steve ;)

Thanks Steve, these were my thoughts also.
I was undecided as to the crop myself and was going to submit with just the neck protruding and I was also conscious of that little branch on left and my reason for leaving it in was most likely laziness.:o
Reduced the slight blue cast also.

Marc,
I think this is too tight, and seems to have a lower IQ.

I prefer the original post.

I don't know what the actual colors were, but there seems to be a cyan cast. Maybe that's just
an odd effect of the light.
