About the Image(s)

I took this image on a zoo trip. In order to remove the cluttered background and harsh lighting, I decided to paint it. It was painted entirely in Photoshop, using various mixer brushes. The background is from my files. I also added some hints of leaves and foliage from different brush presets I own. I had actually painted this last year and put it aside; as I did not know which version I preferred. That’s where you now come in…. I still can’t decide. So there are three versions from which to choose. There is a version with about half the body showing. A second version is in landscape mode with the giraffe’s long neck leaving the frame. The third version is cropped as a vertical with very little of the body showing. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions. They will be greatly appreciated.
