Awe, he's cute. Looks like a baby that hasn't quite grown into his head yet.

Hey, I just noticed there's actually TWO giraffes in this photo. There's a second one in the eye reflection.

Some would say they want more detail, but I think photos like this have their place. It's quite soothing and would work great hanging in a bright sunny room.

Giraffe - CLOSE up

My eye keeps going to the green, which is throwing off the balance. If it were me I'd probably lower the green saturation. I love how the frame is full of giraffe face.

As for it being macro or close-up, I think that's about as macro as any of us are going to get with a giraffe, so I doubt you'll hear any complaints, heh.

I like the processing and deep vignette. It amps up the tension in the weather that may have been just a drizzle. The same goes for those water droplets on the lens. Almost like you're fleeing from a tornado or some other form of impending doom.

Ahhh! Drive, roz, drive!!

What a clever idea on the part of this stapleworm. The perfect camouflage.

Yikes, he does look like some sort of hell fly. The blood red rear end and those spikes... and standing on such a pretty flower.

I think my favorite part is the petals shooting out in the background. I like when things are just outside the focus point, I can't help it!
