Nice portrait, good details.
Well done

Pam, Nice POV with good detail. Your title fits well in that it does look like this giraffe is talking to you! Reminds me of "Mr Ed", the talking horse! Good job!!

Good shot Pam, I like the pose and it is good to be looking down on this tall subject rather than up. Very good work.

Were you very high up a tree taking this :) It really looks like it is talking to you. Very nice catch.

Thanks for posting

Beautiful color, subject and amazing clarity! Besides, I love giraffes!
