Hi Morkel -- A very nice perspective and nice conversion too . The Giraffe chewing the leaves is certainly the main element here and i liked that part in this image. I would have preferred the lower portion of Giraffe a bit toned down looks too bright . TFS !

Hi Morkel, the perspective works oh so well here and agree with Andreas about the Giraffe. Perhaps the laptop/scale/size doesn't quite convey the hi key that well (?) so I'm not 100% on the choice of medium here and therefore I may prefer the more conventional approach, but always worth the punt
.

Love the overall comp and framing here Morkel, well documented.
Like Steve, I'm not too enamoured with the conversion here, to me this seems like a cross between infared and HK and just falling short on this for mine, is it the sky perhaps? sorry buddy.

Perhaps Marc it the strong contrast between the Blacks & Whites with minimal mid contrast, WDYT????

Great scene here Mork, love the landscape and the tall giraffe. I'd love to see the colour version of this! Well seen and framed!

Thanks for all the kind feedback, folks.
Steve & Marc - quite happy with my conversion here as I went high key for the FG but liked that the sky left some shade of grey to even out the tonal contrast across the range. I will play around with many more shots taken during this sighting, and perhaps go total high key high contrast on another one and post it.

Hi Morkel - Well anticipated and executed. I like the high key look to the grass. The only thing that I would perhaps look at is the tone of the giraffe, and might burn the highlights of the giraffe a bit more, particularly the rump.
TFS,
Rachel

Good point Steve, I'm in agreement here

Hi Morkel
Well planned image!
The Giraffe grabs the eye, then the Acacias leads you deeper in the image.
Comp works well.
I would like the anchor to be a bit more dominant- more contrast and selective sharpening?
