    Another taken on my 2009 trip to South Africa and that I have revisited. Same giraffe as the image I posted a couple of weeks ago. Overcast morning so went with the high key look.

    Canon 50D
    100-400 @ 275mm
    1/800
    f9.0
    ISO 400
    EC +.33
    HH from safari vehicle, levels and curves adjustments, selective color and sharpened in CS5.

    C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

    Rachel

    Rachel,

    You can always rely on a Giraffe for a "silly" look.

    Going by the colour of the tongue I wonder if this needs a little bit of warmth?

    Hi Rachel, think I prefer the OP, however with a look & feel like this, I might suggest giving it some Contrast/Mid tone to give it some 'Grittiness', but avoid key areas. B/W could be a little too stark.

    Love the goofy look here as well, but my preference goes to the OP also. TFS

    I love the expression here, Rachel.
    Maybe do add some warmth and check out Steve's suggestions?

    Hi Rachel,
    what a comical expression. It looks like he was sticking his tongue out at you

    Nicely detailed and processed photo. Looks like that tongue is sticking out of the screen.
