Welcome back Harshad,
What great light. Nicely timed to get separation on all four legs. Detail is excellent as per usual. I like how you've captured the wide open expanse of the land and the tree provides and excellent balancing element for the giraffe. An all around real nice shot.
Nice image indeed! Sweet soft light and balanced composition. Converting to sRGB really makes it sing...

super stunning image, great colours, light and comp, converting to srgb certainly does help it pop on the screen nicely
What a great giraffe image! F5.6 was perfect for this scene. The giraffe is sharp all over and the bkgr is rendered just right. This image shows the vastness of this place very well. I like Ofers' effort but I like the tone of the distant hillside better in the original.

Welcome back Harshad. Great first image from the trip posted, looking forward to lots more.
I like it a lot...Glad to see you back!
Beautiful shot! Love the balanced comp.

Harshad,
Well done balancing the giraffe with the tree - a great composition.
Love it, but what is it on his/her right shoulder? Worth cloning out?

Sweet light here Bhai, and love the nicely balanced composition with the mountain BG!
If this is the quality of your ungulate photos, I am very much looking forward to those cat images
