[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Last Sunday I took a round in Delhi zoo. Though, almost once a week I roam around the zoo area but hardly enter. Just to check the flow of the Painted storks I went inside. While through my binocular I was roughly counting the numbers of some birds, my eyes stuck on the giraffe. The beautiful tall animal whom I used watch every day in Animal planet TV show, playing, grazing in the green, now spending a captive live in Delhi zoo. How she is filling. As per record, this Giraffe is Indo-African. But did her parents ever narrate their daughter that what they raveled in African green. Fear was there, they could be killed. But still life was different. They had their own choice of food or fun, and scope to select a partner from plenty. When I was clicking she looked at my camera. Her eyes whispered 'Am I looking nice here as a Zoological product, as a preserved live trophy? They say I am African. But I had never visited the place. How is that place. I born here but still I am African. I don't know why?' I asked her, 'Are you happy?'--- Answer came --- As a model in front of your camera, I have to be.

This animal looks like he has been partaking of some spirits or perhaps he inhaled:-) Very cute pose and portrait. Your notes are quite helpful.

Really superb notes to go with this odd little image.
Colours and composition are good, but it would have been nice to see it just a little larger
