Nice to have you posting again, Brendon! I know you've got a few 'goodies' to share after your recent safaris, and this is a good 'opener' :w3:5
Love the low angle, the image clarity and quality, and the pose! Was this taken from the boat on the Chobe river? :e3

Brendon,

Outstanding image! I would not change a thing. I really like the sky background, as it makes the image so unusual. We done on all counts: exposure, composition, nice soft light, sharpness, eye contact.

Brendon,

I agree with Roger entirely a most unusual shot, z Giraffe drinking with no water, truly splendid, well seen.:cheers::cheers:

[Brendon Cremer]

Thanks all for your great comments, Morkel yes this was from a boat on the chobe river. Giraffe come down onto this flood plain almost every afternoon.

I like the simplicity of this image Brendon, superb composition... Techs all excellent

I like this a lot! I see some S/H halo especially around the head.

Wonderfully done Brendon, great colour and low angle. The birds add nicely to this beautiful scene.
