A simple image, but I thought the passing Rhino's added to the scene of these two bull giraffes (one young and one older) play fighting in a pan. Cropped pano for comp.

Lovely atmopshere recorded here Vincent. The Giraffe's however are too centered for my taste, especially since there are not many other visually interesting elements within the frame. This scene sure had a lot of potential, but I doubt if this composition does it for me.....also because all the interesting elements are underneath the treeline....and the sky doesn't add that much interest.
Jasper brings up some solid points on the comp. The exposure and colors look great. I think moving left or right here was called for (assuming that was an option), or waiting for the animals to be in better positions. Also, not too keen on having the rhino behind the giraffe. WOuld have also liked to see both heads up on the giraffes.
