To me, this looks like the Giraffe is viewing the occupants of the Land Rover as a sort of turn-about-is fairplay. :) And since getting this shot meant shooting into the light, I enhanced the contrast for a better silhouette; boosted the golden setting sunlight as well as a few other tweaks and crop. What do you think? Does it work? Maybe a little more off the bottom? Thank you for looking and commenting...I'm here to learn, too.

Think it is great Katie. Looks like HDR material too. Don't think I would take any off the bottom, but I am wondering about that small clump on the left of the giraffe??? Great silhouette and story to the image.
Katie, I love it! As mentioned by Jackie this would be a very cool HDR w/ tonemapping!! I love the look of the Landrover w/ the windows-Love the sky color!!

I think this looks great. The sun tones really make it look like some sort of cross-processed film. I agree with the thought of cropping away a bit on the left, where the clump is (looks like maybe another animal in that bush?). Nice work!
