Break the news to us gently Peter.no more b&w for awhile..lo
Peter I like the depth to this, it has an almost layer quality about it. The colour looks nice & punchy, with a clean clarity, is it down to the location & air? Well composed, & good choice of format, it all works extremely well.
My only criticism is, I wasn't there with you.

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
certainly a crispness to this, and vivid colours as well...your images make me want to head there even sooner than I can afford :)
why no more B&W??
As another fan of your lovely b&w images, I'm hoping that your sabbatical is short lived.
I really like the pose on the main giraffe here, quite an interesting positioning of the legs which gives the image a feeling of activity (my giraffes are nearly always standing still :( ). Agree with the others that the image has a great crispness and clarity to it. Good feeing of the environment and yes, here's another one who would love to be heading there.
Hi Peter, I like your placement of the Giraffes in the image , gives a lovely sense of depth. Nicely done with the dof and good management of the strong light.
Etosha and Kgalagadi my two favourite photographic destinations.
Great image Peter , lovers looks great and agreed with Steve , I was not there with you

PS , I will be getting my hands of D3 soon , How is this mean machine
Thanks for comments guys and gals..
When I captured this image it was early afternoon and light was just right.. the wind had stopped no dust/sand blowing... and for once the Giraffe were not skittish..
I also have changed my workflow , nothing drastic but getting a lot more detail from my images..
Morkel and Hilary just a little Irish humour , I promise more black and white soon.. just wanted to post colour for Ken !
Steve and Harshad .. you both would love Etosha.. the quality of light and amount of game is amazing.. I agree with Pieter , Etosha and KTP are also my favorite places..
maybe we should organise a BNP trip here..
Harshad... D3 changed my photography .. have just added a D3S to my kit which is basically the same beast.. your success rate with the tracking system/AF will blow u away.. bit of advice.. just keep contacts clean .. old TCs dont work so well ..images tad soft.. be careful of VR especially on 200-400mm I tend to keep it off.. any other advice .. just pm me..
happy shooting
peter
Great scene captured...Nice punch in the colors and the tones all work nicely...Overall a pleasant image...Nice one Peter
Peter,
As mentioned, the image has nice bold colors and a certain crispness to it.
Compositionally, I am bothered by the two crossing necks in the BG. If the tree with not there and the one giraffe munching on it I would like the juxtaposition of the FG and BG giraffe looking at you.
As it is now, i find myself looking too much at the two in the BG right.
Peter - I love everything about this, the comp, detail, crispness and colors. Etosha is on my short list for my next trip to Africa.
TFS,
Rachel
