E.J., in addition to the perfect technicals of this image, it is also very touching with your title.

All animal eyes are fascinating and one of my projects is to get close up shots of different eyes for my collection. When I look into the eyes of a Giraffe I just melt - they are gorgeous!! This shot is a superb capture of the emotion that eye shots can generate. Excellent composition E.J.!! 8) 8) :)

E.J.,
Well thought out and captured. I'm afraid I find myself trapped in the box too much; perhaps shots like these will pull me outside more often.

Closest I've ever been to a Giraffe face. Thanks for taking me there!
