So impressive when you see them close up, aren't they! Nicely done Peter, a lovely line up.

Hi Peter, I feel the line-up would have been better if the RH Giraffe at the back wasn't there, but that's Wildlife.

Looking at the larger version I might ease off on the Yellow & Orange, or Saturation, as it will provide better separation between subject & the environment - more standout IMHO. The file isn't RGB by chance as that will throw out the colour incorrectly compared t sRGB, just a thought???

What caught their attention - predators??

Hope to see more.

Thanks for your thoughts Steve.Yes,I agree regarding the r/h Giraffe,it would have been nice to have lined them up all together:) As for what sparked the Giraffes interest I am not too sure,it certainly wasn't any predators,as we didn't see any:(

That's a real shame Peter and surprising, hopefully there will be a next time.

cheers

Definitely worth clicking on this image to view full size. I like the texture and color you captured in the body of the giraffes, and the nice habitat is a bonus.
