    Nice to have you posting again, Brendon! I know you've got a few 'goodies' to share after your recent safaris, and this is a good 'opener'
    Love the low angle, the image clarity and quality, and the pose! Was this taken from the boat on the Chobe river?

    Brendon,

    Outstanding image! I would not change a thing. I really like the sky background, as it makes the image so unusual. We done on all counts: exposure, composition, nice soft light, sharpness, eye contact.

    Brendon,

    I agree with Roger entirely a most unusual shot, z Giraffe drinking with no water, truly splendid, well seen.

    Thanks all for your great comments, Morkel yes this was from a boat on the chobe river. Giraffe come down onto this flood plain almost every afternoon.

    Wonderfully done Brendon, great colour and low angle. The birds add nicely to this beautiful scene.
