    Bill, I like the framing of the two. I do think that the top is a tiny bit too tight. I like the B&W and the filtering. I might tone down the swirls on the right of the adults face just a bit if it were mine. Such a cute pose!

    Awesome composition, Bill. I too love the the framing... agree with Denise on reducing the effect of the swirls. Beautifully done... TFS.

    I also agree with Denise's comments but wanted to add that it's really a precious photo of the two. The twisted lips of the younger baby giraffe is fabulous and the conversion to black and white is very strong.

    Beautiful work, Bill. The giraffes are absolutely adorable! I love the swirly filter effect, it gives the image a rather whimsical feel which fits the subject well. The B&W conversion is spot on. I agree with Denise's suggestions. I also would remove the two cut off white spirals in the URC because they draw my eye away. Well done!

    Bill, what an adorable pair. The expression of the baby's face is priceless. I love your black and white conversion and your choice of PB for your filtering - it gives it just the right touch.
