Could've been a really nice photo. Like the attention captured in the dog's body position. Too grainy.

Since a couple of people took the time to ask--this shot was taken at a drive-through park in TX where the animals are free roaming. I was in one of the park's open air trucks and I snapped the photo as this guy pulled his head away to much the food we'd given him. I have lots of zoo-type shots, so on this trip I was trying to make my shots more interesing. Glad a few folks appreciated it! Thanks!

On a side note, giraffes have very long, thick eyelashes to protect their eyes from acacia tree thorns while they eat the leaves. Neat, huh?! (degree in wildlife biology )

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I can't vote in this challenge, but if I could this would be one of my faves. To me, this photo is very sensuous.
