Very nice moody shot. Title works really well to tie it strongly to the challenge.

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

Don't worry Sara :)
This is probably my favourite picture of my trip in South Africa, and make me smile every time I watch at it. Of course it would have been great to be in the Top 10, but I'm really happy to have it in my gallery.

And as too often happens:

Avg (participants): 5.6207
Avg (non-participants): 6.7667

This also make me smile :)

Thank you all

Always love a good giraffe shot. Shame it has so many distracting elements in front of it, already voted.

Absolutely gorgeous photo - the branch in front of the giraffe bothers me a little, but hey, I can live with that :)
