    Default Giraffe in Technicolor

    Nothing much to be said here...lovely scene that just begged to be captured...taken in the Sabi-Sands Game Reserve early in 2010.

    I find giraffe challenging to properly compose for at best...so the rainbow was a welcome compositional element in this case...

    Techs:
    Nikon D3s with 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II
    f5.6 @ 1/1000 SS @ ISO-320
    Just about full frame

    Looks pretty good to me Morkel, nothing wrong with the giraffe or background as a standard giraffe shot, but the rainbow adds something special. Very nicely done...
    cheers

    The giraffe itself is a good solid base image, made more interesting by the nicely positioned rainbow. Well seen.

    Hi Morkel,

    Strange how something different can enliven an otherwise relatively normal image, lucky it was not a Dikdik

    Good vision and perfect timing on this one Morkel, creating a superb oppotunity. Trust you found your pot of Gold.

    Fantastic capture Morkel, as mentioned Giraffe on its own is great but with the rainbow makes it special.
