    Taken in the last light of day as you can see from the shadows. I would have preferred to have been further to the right however the road dident allow it. I could not include any more reflection as there is a big grey rock in the way

    Hi Basil - I love the symmetry here of the 4 drinking and the four walking giraffes. Colors look good and so does dof. I understand why no more below but I would prefer a bit more room left and right too. Nice one overall.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Really like this one. The Pose on the front and rear giraffes is quite neat. The whole scene is pretty pleasing to my eye. Very nice.

    Hi Basil, perhaps one of the best Giraffe shots I have seen posted on BPN, what a collection, excellent!

    Both techs & PP look good, but I could see the image being a bit 'richer' in it's overall colour.

    Hi Basil, you did all the hard work with the cooperation of the Giraffes too, it was really nice to view, look forward to more, keep them coming.

    Super image, love the composition, my initial reaction was it was late in the day so perhaps the colours were a little flat but I would be inclined to give them a little boost....... just noticed that has been mentioned! ( I always try to ignore previous comments).

    Hello Basil,

    How on earth did you get those giraffes to pose so nicely?

    You should be very pleased with this, composition works well and there's a symmetry to this frame that is so appealing.

    I like the colours and that bit of reflection too, this works for me as presented - lovely work Basil, let's see some more if you have!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
