Just love this one Poor Kinky. Good story portrayed with this lovely clear photo. Everything about it has detail and excellent lighting bringing out the colours and detail in this head shot. Would make a good poster
Thanks for posting

Comment from Sange
Mary your photo is sharp,clean and too sweet. Poor Kinky!
You did a fine job on focus and exposure. I would have cropped a wee bit more at top and painted in some catch light in its eye.
A nice capture!

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Oh my goodness the poor thing, how could the doctors not get this neck in alignment again as the chiropractor's are doing that all the time - wow -

A great capture of a different giraffe for sure , super angle and position, and she really looks very kind and friendly so you could get her in a perfect way against the sky - fantastic shot, super in focus and exposure , contrast and lighting

A special image that shows how life creates challenges sometimes, thanks for sharing

Thanks so much Regina, she does appear to be a quite happy giraffe and I guess if it had happened in the wild she would not have survived.

Comment from gidavidson
I can sure see how the name was created. What a crooked neck. Good to know she survived the accident with Mom. What a good view, focus and frame with a nice sky for the background.

I love this title. Your very humorous. Great impact on this shot. colors are wonderful, and the details are spectacular, down to the wrinkles on his face. Framing is great, just emphasizing the title...thanks for sharing.

Thanks Doris, Kinky is one of the leaders in the group and has always been accepted by the others.

Nice capture of a very interesting subject. Detail just right. The play of the light on his head along with the background make a very nice picture.

Amazing, this belongs in a National Geographic magazine. How amazingly perfect! Such detail, and the background compliments the Giraffe's head so well, Thanks for sharing.

Comment from suzannethompson2
Lovely close up of this beautiful kinky giraffe and interesting notes - poor little thing although it doesn't seem to have hampered her. I love the expression you caught on her lovely face.

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