Technicolor indeed! Wow how lucky to have such a great subject to put with a rainbow. I really like the way you composed this, placing the giraffe to the left of center. Super image Morkel.

I agree, this is really special. Love it!

(fyi...there may be small fly or dust spot near lower neck that could be removed.)

Sweet indeed Morkel! You found a pot of golden giraffe at the end of the rainbow. Love it!

Glad you were there Morkel -- and f/2.8 probably worked better in this case!
