What an incredible gallery!
Your photos show such...richness..
But I have to admit I saw this photo and fell in love with it immediately.
May I try my hand at drawing it?

I love how the background forces the giraffe's head to stand out. Good eye and well composed!

thanks .. this is one of my "just luck" shots ... the wall behind was really dark, and the Giraffe was in the bright sun so ...

It's amazing the contrast between the warm and intense light on the giraffe and a so black background.

Lovely portrait... I really like the minimalistic view, the profile; it's not something you usually see with these kinds of shots.

yes thanks a lot - it was realy luck, that the giraffe was standing in front of this dark wall ....

es war eine sehr dunkele Wand im Hintergrung, da ich aber immer in RAW knipse , kann man sowas dann einfach noch etwas mehr abdunkeln .... ohne das der Rest dunkler wird.... Dank Dir !

yay! a giraffe, dont normally see pictures of them
looks a little sad though, hope it isnt sad
almost kind of looks like its almost looking down on something, but more of a 'watching over it' look
