    Default Giraffe very close-up!

    Giraffes are very photogenic and there are many ways to capture that. I found the designs in the hide interesting and photographed many giraffes while in Namibia looking for the perfect piece of hide!

    It does look like you could reach out and touch it. Beautiful pattern and colors.

    Hey Nance, Great to see you here. I like it but may have liked a wider version better as it might show the patterning better.

    Neat image, Nancy! I love the idea here. I'd probably clone out the few stray hairs that are showing up on the darker areas if this were mine. I can also see Artie's point about the wider crop but this is still very interesting to me.

    Color and pattern are great but really love the texture. Definitely a "reach out and touch" image.

    Looks pet-able to me! Would love to be where you can get a shot like this!!

    Like the patterns created, it if were mine I might be tempted to sharpen it a little more. Like the crop as presented.
