Wildlife Image of the Week for the week ending Nov. 22nd, 2013: Edward Selfe - Suckllng Thornicroft's Giraffe
Congratulations Ed!
Nice morning light the other day when I was out - it's been overcast a lot recently so it was nice to have the golden light back - and we found giraffes all over the place just inside the park. I missed this female greeting her youngster (I was still getting my camera off my lap after parking in the right place!) but was chuffed when she started to suckle the calf. I'd parked at a good distance for my guests with 300mm lenses, but was struggling with my 500mm until she reached round to check on the youngster. No more space around the edge, but was just happy to fit the image in!
Any comments welcome.
Thanks,
Ed
