I rather wish that the man was walking towards us, but what a great piece of graffiti, very well captured by the photographer.

What a lovely composition, despite the cars!

Always check your background for intrusions into the frame.

The reds are really rare in England - they have been driven out by the imported American greys who carry a pox that the red squirrels have no immunity to. Really sad.

This is in your garden? Wow! I had assumed it was a captive bird on a perch. That lower eye is pretty much on the thirds, though... Super photo.

The ultra high shutter speed really does allow a unique view of this such pretty bird. I would guess that the snow acted as a giant light box allowing you such a fast shutter speed - really impressive.

Back to clarify my comment, especially in light of Ubique's. I love every aspect of this, except at the very bottom of the frame where the tree appears to grow out of the giraffe. I really like the inclusion of the rest of it (and I concede it would look pretty silly without the bottom..) and love the way the giraffe's head appears above the leaves. I hadn't consciously considered that the foreground tree/bush, acted as an echo of the form of the animal, but I appreciate the photo all the more for having that connection pointed out. Edit: Deserved a much higher finish tan this
