Young Masi Giraffe

[John Lowin]

Image created in the Masi Mara Triangle. It's a challenge getting this close to eye-level, even with a young giraffe like this one and then finding a location to photograph one without the horizon cutting the neck in half. I was lucky this time. I couldn't decide whether to leave the flowers in the image or clone them out. You see my decision, I felt it gives this youngster some location. I hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

Another version to ponder over - a slightly warmer one.

John,

I like the diagonal of the neck and having it coming in at the LR corner. I would lose the small branches you mentioned.

Nice portrait. I'd go for Peters post...and warm it up just a little bit. Good scanning here.
