Editing by dehazing, leveling horizon and cropping
Taken in the Samburu region, Kenya from our Landrover. Lots of wonderful wildlife in this area and I was so happy to capture the reticulated giraffe family with the calf looking our way. Giraffe offspring look like miniature adults, unlike most offspring, which we found so cute!

Cindy,
This is a well composed African savana scene. I like the strong center of interest with the several layers of landscape and hazy background and sky. The truncated tree on the right is a small visual irritation but not much to be done about that without too much cropping on the right. Posted: 10/08/2026 16:16:42

I agree with Dean about the layers. I really like the markings on these giraffes. Posted: 10/10/2026 04:19:21
