Delightful giraffe portrait.

LOL! I like the title... but not the inclusion of metal into the frame... showing that this was not shot in the wild.

Adorable posing but frantically distracting background

Great timing. He looks so happy and peaceful.

Lighting seems a bit harsh.

did you take this from a ladder ?:-)

:))) at least it made me laugh , but the quality is not so good...
Post actions
That looks nice! Great camouflage with this background.
Post actions
needs a little color correction IMO , but nice zoomed in shot , nice capture of the giraffe's expression, 6
Post actions
Such odd animals! Nice close up, but the background bokeh is too similar to the giraffe's markings. A bit of desat or more Gaussian blur would have helped.

Ok. You caught a good action shot here.

really nice bokeh...would like to see a bit more tone in the giraffe

I guess everybody has to scratch an itch once in a while.

pity it blends into the background a little too much
Post actions
Good animal interest capture!
Post actions
Too dark and the background is too distracting -especially when combined with the pattern on the giraffe.
Post actions
I think the picture would pop more if there was more distinction between the giraffe and the background, maybe upping the green in the background would help.
Post actions
Hahhah... i guess its a bit of a stretch to reach that scratch.

If this doesn't make you believe in camoflage, nothing will.
Post actions
interesting how the background plays into the patterns on the giraffe
Post actions
Nothing in the world like scratching where is itches.
Post actions
Good shot. I wish the backgroundwas a bit more OOF. The giraffe blends in a bit to much.
Post actions
Good capture, nice DOF. Looks satisfyin!
Post actions
Great moment captured! Good job with the DOF.

Great shot. The shut eye, whiskers and bokeh add a nice touch.
Post actions
It is nice how the patches of subject and background merge together.
Post actions
The background is playing to much against his colors but nice subject and story.
Post actions
Great light, but the bokeh background takes away dramatically fro the giraffe. The two seem to flow into each other too much for my tastes. Maybe a lighter touch on the background would have created more of a separation of subject.
Post actions
lol thats one happy giraffe.

I think we have all been in the same boat before. LOL - nice job.

I like the sharper patterns of his fur with the blurred patterns in the background.

well seen, but the camera settings obviously were not proper for that situation - image has a purplish cast, lights are blown. could also be sharper
Post actions
in my opinion, the background is too busy and the giraffe's head gets lost in it. great impression on the face though :)
Post actions
I wonder if the bokeh effect in the BG is what made this image stand out for you too.
