    Hi Sanjeev, great to have you back.

    Great opening shot, love it and I like the way you have pulled the clouds in without going OTT. The Giraffes remind me of the souvenirs you can get at the airports, almost statuesque in their standing.

    A good balance to this one in terms of layers, tones and exposure/contrast.
    Welcome back, Doc!
    I could crop some off the RHS for a more uniform central placement of the "group"?

    Hi Sanjeev - Welcome back! I too like the grouping and especially that they all gave you nice HA. Interesting to see the different shades of the giraffes and I really like the river environment. It works but tech wise with a grouping like this I would have tried to stop down a little for more dof (though it depends how far away you were whether it would have an affect). You had sufficient ss to do so shooting at 135 mm.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    One of my favorite animals, so unique. I like the scene very much, the grouping of Giraffes, the river, trees and sky. Thank you for sharing, Sanjeev.
