The next shot from my 4 hour-visit to the cologne zoo:

a Giraffe-Meeting.

*******************
The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African
even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-
living animal species. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres
(16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,360 kilograms
(3,000 pounds). The record-sized bull was 5.87 m (19.2
feet) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400
lbs.). Females are generally slightly shorter and
weigh less than the males do.

The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is
placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae,
consisting only of the giraffe and its closest
relative, the okapi. Its range extends from Chad to
South Africa.

Hi Thorsten,
Very nice composzition of the giraffes.
Good framing and good sharpness, very good shot here...!
Regards,
Patrick

Interesting perspective!! Makes for a very interesting shot ..

Giraffe in front a little OEed and shot would have been compositionally stronger with 3 giraffes instead of 4. Good lighting, DOF and sat.

TFS!!

Hi Thorsten.
Pictured by you scene is really attractive and unique. I only don't understand where are your at that moment. Framing, cropping and composition are great as well as the rich colours and excellent sharpness of the image. Bravo and best wishes.
Alexei.

Good eye for a considered composition Thorsten. No horrible distractions creates a pleasing tiered effect with your giraffes. Best, Brat.
