Too much noise on this one, otherwise, good framing...

What majestic height and what lovely treatment to suggest the theme of this challenge. The beauty of the image and its composition makes it outstanding. Bumping up on sheer aesthetic feel.

Nice giraffe, nice light and colour, but I do not see any instance of camouflage.

Like the coloration. Creates a neat mood.

I think the flash highlighted the brush on the left side, and draws your eye there. I might have tried cropping so the giraffe was on the left and there was less brush.

If the giraffe was in a loctation where the camouflage was effective, this would be a better shot. A couple criticisms on the photo in general. The image is soft. The image not very dynamic (too centered and not an interesting angle). The tree behind the neck, and the flash highlights in the brush are both distractions from the subject. No offense intended.

great example of a giraffe's camouflage, however the flash effects really weaken the over all quality of the image.
