Fantasize away :) once again appreciate the review.

Comment from suzfaust
The color of the giraffe is interesting. I wonder what they were thinking here? I like that the giraffes are in focus and the trees in the background are not. Great colors here.

Thanks again for review, much appreciated.

Comment from chickadee
A cute capture with nice sharp focus and framing!! Nice natural colors! I find this to be a bit dark, maybe a bit of contrast and shadows would bring out the subjects a bit for a stronger composition!!Otherwise a great chance shot!!

Thanks for the review will have a play to see if it can be improved.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten
I like the composition. I am also thinking that the focus the crispness seems to be slightly off. I'm thinking the giraffes seem to melt together to much and that creates more of a blurry effect rather then a crispness and better details of each animal head.

Thanks for review - fully realised this was technically not great I just liked the fact that they both "head butted" to get to the water and thought it was nice one to share.

Comment from Jane Jenkins
They do look like they are having a bit of a cuddle. Aren't they fun to watch. It is hard to get good pictures because of their height. Zoos should building their areas with raised platforms outside so visitors can see the world from their perspective! Great details, clarity and colors in this capture. Good DOF

Thanks so much for positive review.

Comment from robo1224
Okay, this isn't really fair. I would give you 5 stars just because it's a picture of giraffes! Love 'em!

In this case, though, it happens to be a great shot of giraffes! Great job!
