Goofy Giraffe My Avatar

that's one crazy looking giraffe. great shot that would make a marketable card/postcard I'd imagine. I might trim just a little more off the top just for grins.

Jim,
Love the giraffe, particularly the way he/she stands out from the multicolored background.

Definitely goofy. Not easy to get a good head shot of a giraffe. This one sings.

Jim,

I am glad you posted the big version of your avatar. I love this comical shot. It has great colors and shows a lot of personality. Thanks for posting in Wildlife.

What's with the ear's man

Great shot, love the expression.

Great shot Jim, made my laugh... Thanks for the chuckle and great avatar..

Gotta love it! As Cheryl says, it has personality

Who are you kidding? He looks just like you!

Awesome shot and a perfect avatar! Congrats!

Interesting and very attractive portrayal.

I particularly like the quality of the light in the image. The dof together with the focus point selected, does a perfect job of rendering sharp detail on the subject and throwing b/g elements attractively oof.

I realise this is cropped to fit the avatar dimensions but if I was going to print this I would crop a little more from each side placing the bottom edge of the animal's neck in the lower right corner of the frame. If you have PS CS you can easily bring up the detail in the shadow side of the face a little using the shadow/highlight adjustment tool and the image will really rock.

Best wishes

This is so funny Jim!! wonderful expression and I guess its blowing a raspberry!

Jim, I love this image and surely noticed your new avatar already!!! Pefectly wonderful choice!!!
