Great action shot. I think I would prefer a little more on the rhs if you have so as not to cut off the body of that giraffe. Agree a little more contrast might improve the image.
Great capture of an interesting symetrical moment. I agree with a little extra contrast.
Recently I was in Selous Game Reserve where I was shown an image by a French tourist of a Giraffe actually knocked out in a fight something I would dearly like to have seen, it got up later.

Hi Per, I like the repost more. Well done with this capture, nice composition, complimentary BG. I am aware of two serious fights that have happened between male giraffe that ended in fatalities here in Botswana where I work. Once a male was knocked down, the other male would keep knocking him down each time he tried to stand up. Eventually the grounded male died.
Really liked your pic, and wish I had something like that
cheers

Prefer the post with the added contrast but prefer the tighter crop of the first. For my taste, there is a bit too much space on the top of the repost. Absolutely love the action you have captured here. It is totally new to me, and I am always happy learning about animals' behaviors and seeing them in action. Thank you for sharing.
