 You never really realize just how large a giraffe is. This guy approached our van during our Fossil Rim tour for some hand feeding.

A messy photograph, cameraman in background, papercup in foreground, half a face, range rover.

The crop really does not do this shot justice....half a face and some fingers really distract. I think it would have been better with less people and more animal.

The backround takes away from the subject. It would have been nicer at a different angle so that you dont see the other photographer and the other man in the backround.

more cropping on the left would have helped here - other photographer and cup are distracting.

Seems to be at least 2 big boys there. The image seems a litle overexposed and shoft focused and I´m not sure I´m getting the idea.

wow, that horse is colored just like a giraffe (ha-ha). nice close-up, however the background is distracting (too busy). Maybe this could have been avoided by cropping out the clutter, filling the frame with the head and person in background
