Hi Sanjeev ... a cool shot and even the steep angle does work for me here .
Sky is as is ... not much you can do .
Love all the flies floating around in the air and teh oxpecker is a great addition .
I do like the overall tones and color .... might be posible to extract some more tonal detail from the darks .
But i do miss some fine detail in some of the areas ... looks too smooth for me . i.e. lower lips , the long neck hairs , the horns , the bird . Too much NR for me ... as i can see no other reason for the smoothness .

Whoa flies. The pose is pretty neat. I like the bird on the neck. It looks quite nice in the high key.

Just like Andreas , I too liked the framing and other elements in there, but the image lacks finer details.
Always a tricky situation with the backlit sky but you have managed well here.
TFS !

Love the perspective and steep shooting angle here Sanjeev. I would open it up and look at the shadows specifically for the eye, plus adding some Saturation too. A bit more USM, as you have some great details there Sanjeev. I think the light BKG is fouling the metering, you should have exposed more for the subject and perhaps even clipped the backdrop magically for more data in the histogram.

Hello Sanjeev,
Another nice portrait and perspective is great! I like that the subject is looking towards the camera, despite its head pointing up. Was the giraffe reaching out to some tree branches, or shaking its head?
Steve mentioned it already, the eye could do with a bit of work. A tad more sharpness if possible, overall. Love the oxpecker and presence of flies, very cool image and well composed too, colours look good as well - I enjoyed viewing, TFS!
Kind regards,
