i really like the composition. good use of verticle lines. love doing shadow shots too! p.s what are those scraps on the floor? a little distracting from the subject.
It is one elegant giraffe of an image you've found lying around here. The light, although obviously natural, truly 'radiates'. I wonder if this capture could have been improved on with the ground swept clean of leaves prior to taking this shot... > 5
Not an amazing composition (or incredibly original) but this is a pleasing shot. It may have been worth holding the camera in the middle of your body (and snapping a few until you get the shot you want) so that you don't see the hand holding the camera to your eye. It would make the image a little more evocative.
