Description

Hello All! Georgy told me about the new baby Giraffe at LA the zoo that was born a few months back. So as I have been home schooling my daughter Annie we decided it was a good day for a field trip lol... Giraffes are one of my favorite animals so had to go!!.. I have a huge picture next to my desk of a Mama bending over and kissing her baby. I wanted that kind of shot. When I got there Mama was too busy eating so I got out my new canon and practiced lighting focus and settings only on manual setting. It

A sublime capture, Kimmers. Thank you for sharing your moving experience with us too. I had the same feeling when swimming with a wild dolphin.. Incredible, it never leaves you :-) Hugs to all the family. Di.

Beautiful giraffe and lovely story. I think you might have oversharpened some areas of it though. Nevertheless a beautiful shot. Have a wonderful weekend. #:o)

I love how the backlight has outlined the whiskers on the baby giraffe's face - and I really love the bright warm colours of his hair down his neck - I think you've captured the light on the giraffe quite lovely, Kimarie. Giraffes and Cows are two of the animals that I like (elephants are my sure favorites along with wolves but anyway) - they just have big beautiful eyes - and I see big beautiful eye on this giraffe - ahhhh :) Cheers, Tina
