Well, I think the extremely light background makes the giraffe's face, especially the eyes appear too dark. It probably wouldn't look as bad again a background, say, full of the trees in the lower half. The sharpness is nice and good job on waiting for the right moment to shap the shutter when it was looking.

I did a giraffe too. I like yours better. Would have liked to have seen it a bit brighter.

Ooooooooh. . . nice giraffe shot!!! I love this one!!!! It seems for some reason, maybe because the heads are so "in the sky", but giraffe shots are often over-exposed. But not this one -- it is perfect. Great, rich colors. I love his expression and where he's standing against an appealing background. Great job.

I took a shot almost exactly like this! Nice of the giraffe and I like the trees in the background. The sky seems pretty blown out though.
