Hi Sanjeev, I quite like the framing here, but looking at the post, e=was it under exposed? I might have bracketed the shot as the subject was static, and do 2/3rds, then blend all three back in PS, or, depending on the angle popped a CPL on. This would help both darks & HL's. Techs look fine, may be f/11 and take the ISO up. I think you can coax out a tad more in the sky? RP isn't great, but...

Hi Doc -- Really liked the framing , the Giraffe looks splendid amidst this wider scape . Steve's RP definitely shows the path and it always is good to try bracketing when exposing against the sky, I have learnt that from experience and postings here on BPN.
Is this a reticulated as opposed to Masai giraffe? My initial impression was that it was underexposed also. I notice quite a golden glow, I don't know if it something to do with my browser - I have checked it, but I posted in Avian recently and also noticed more golden colour than in PS.
