The nursing calf provides the center of interest for this image. I haven't seen a giraffe nursing and I expect few others have either. Posted: 07/06/2025 15:21:55
This is a lovely photo. I love how you have them placed in the photo. It really projects movement and makes the piece feel dynamic. I am wondering what is off to the left of the image. I think I might have added a tiny bit more to the left to have the subjects be a little more off center but I think that comes down to individual style. Great capture! Posted: 07/08/2025 14:10:10
This definitely is a great image of natural behaviour. I like how the mother's eye is keeping a check on the calf & I also wonder where you are in relation to them. Posted: 07/13/2025 01:18:24
Lovely nature image. Nice framing, lines, point of interest, etc... My only suggestion would be to decrease the highlights in the background/ more contrast/soft vignette. I took the liberty to add my vision: Posted: 07/14/2025 19:28:35
Thanks, Pierre. I did try to reduce the highlights but didn't do enough. Posted: 07/25/2025 15:41:59

Thanks for all your comments. Yes, it sure is exciting to observe animal behavior in the wild. Posted: 07/25/2025 15:39:49
