Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: AWWWWWWWW!!!! Gave you an 8 during voting.

Technical: Lighting looks tough to work with, too bad certain areas in shadow. DOF great, POV not the most interesting but you're often very limited at zoos and nature parks. Light alittle harsh on back of mom's ears, verges on glare. Not a fan of frames but you made good use of yours. Sans-serif font not terribly exciting, looks a little 70s to me, but works well enough.

Artistic: Very kind of mama giraffe to provide a frame for baby with her neck! The relaxed yawn from mom and sleepiness in baby's eyes shows how drowsy and content they are. Zoo critters rarely take direction well unless there is a keeper handy to coax them closer.

Overall/FWIW: Lovely shot of mama and baby, surprised it didn't finish higher. Good work!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Excellent framing of the baby! Nice catch of light, and I like the way your frame color matches the scene.
