Hi Sanjeev - Interesting coloring on the giraffe with so much gray on the head. That's also quite a prominent bump on the forehead. I would expect more fine detail based on the techs.

Nice view of the giraffe. Looks old and is it eating the thorn bush thing? Great background.

Dear Sanjeev,

Nice to have that acacia tree top in the FG as it makes for a more unusual shot, and in fact a behavioural shot Regarding subject's colour, I have seen giraffes that are quite pale so no problem there IMO.

Perhaps you should have gone for a tad more DoF. Also, would have been great it if was possible to extract more detail from the eye. Not always easy with giraffes, I know from my own experience. Just my thoughts, had you waited patiently for the perfect angle and maybe some eye contact you would have improved this image tremendously

Thank you so much for sharing,

Kind regards,

Hi Sanjeev, why did you post so small?

Overall the comp isn't working, I just don't find it grabbing my attention sadly. Colour certainly looks different to what we normally see, techs look fine for me, looks sharp from ear to nose.
