I am a sucker for animals and I really love giraffes. I painted a mother and child giraffe for someone and didn't want to part with it. I love the togetherness you have captured here. So tranquil and innocent.

Comment from supergold
a nice capture of these two giraffes: it looks like a clone, with a similar expression; excellent lighting and sharp focus;

Lovely capture of the two beautiful Giraffes - what a shame these two don't have the same freedom as the ones at the open range zoo. They both look rather sad.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne, I appreciate your feedback. I am looking forward to going to the open range zoo this weekend with grandsons and seeing them in the open paddocks. :) Mary

It just is not right to confine them to a small area. Good focus and frame with filtered sun. I hope they get a larger area to live and are treaded well.

Thanks George, hopefully the zoo will improve their area unfortunately they have limited space and very little money they have made huge improvements to other sections over the years.

lovely detail, like the dappled lighting on the face, really well framed. thanks for sharing.
