    Default Young Giraffe Runs

    Whreas you often see young of most species running around madly, I have never seen this behaviour from a Giraffe. Unfortumantely I could never get a good shot with a clear BG.

    Taken near Harvey's Pan, Savute area of Chobe National Park, Botswana.

    very nice Ken! BG doesn't grit me that much, the pose is over the top enough :)

    I might try and darken the brightest brights in the image overall? should bring more detail out of the sky and make the young one "pop" a bit more

    The bush in the background mimics his form well. Very cool action image.

    Nice pose! Looks like he's moving out. BG not a problem for me at all. Provides some nice color and the head doesn't protrude above the horizon.

    Lovely action Ken! The habitat is shown well. It would have been even better with the tail swinging towards us.

    Cheers,

    I love to watch giraffes run, so graceful. Well captured Ken and the bg doesn't bother me either.

    TFS,

    Great action Ken, well caught.

    I like the shape produced by the Giraffe very much.

    Cheers
