Your subject looks...squished in the frame (if that makes sense). I do like the angle and your color choice though.

Why did you have it so small? Otherwise a very good picture and well edited. I am sure if you use all 640 pixels in your next challenge you will do goo.

not sure if I love the blue tint. I wonder how it would do in b/w.

Fun shot from the toes to the hands. Don't know if the Duo-tone works for me.

There is calm/stormy as antonyms - haven't heard of "calm stormy" as an oxymoron, but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt. Interesting skies. A full silhouette would probably be better, crank the black level to get it and check it out.

Comment by glad2badad:
Do people really use that phrase? Calm Stormy... Hmmm. Oh well, if they do I guess this image fits. :D This is a tough image to comment on. It's interesting to look at. The interest is in the giraffe, but unfortunately the giraffe is underexposed. Looking at the scene I don't know how you could add any light without a flash - remote flash maybe? Probably not. I would take this image and turn it into a straight silhouette. I think it would be pretty strong in that format. All JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge.
