Giraffes are difficult to shoot due to their sheer size. The normal shooting position is straight up :)

You've done well here. I like the eyes, they're so expressive.

BTW - it's a boy.

Wow, that looks like an old, worried animal. Very expressive face- great portrait with lots of character!

Very expressive face, especially those eyes. The long, sinewy neck makes me laugh for some reason.

It does look old and worrysome. Extremely expressive face. It really draws me in.

Very nice, Monique. :)

Definitely a very evocative shot of what looks like a very old giraffe. Good capture of the personality.
