Mooi langnek, Gerhard! Nice walking pose of this unicorn - see the way his ear is making a horn on his forhead!
Nice clouds too, just the old nit of the eye and the catchlight, you handled the exposure well!
PS, what about N'korro, I MUST book!

Very good photo Gerardt,
It is an amazing shot, very good action, great contrast with the blue sky, personal I had crop a little piece extra of that blue sky that would made the giraffe higher, very good job

I honestly never knew there were so many Giraffes! It's a super shot with a nice POV, the composition with the puffy cloud in teh blue sky and the layers of dry and green grass are great. I don't think Japie and I will see anything like this on saturday, I hope we'll get something.

Nice shot Gerhard.

I love this animal Gerhard and I have a few shots of them but this completely blows any of mine out of the water. Excellent capture and straight into my favorites...very well done.

Gerhard, Like this very much! The Giraffe has been shot in a perfect setting and your chosen POV has helped to maximize the difficult "fit" within the frame. Exceptional sharpness, detail & colors..I think the slight angle of the near horizon helps to make it a great one also.. Very well done my friend!

What a nice shot. I took some in the Zoo too; but no way near this one.. that's why I didn't put it up. Great shot, sharp detail and good compo, it seem like it is posing for you. :) Well done!

Gerhard, I didn't know they were so difficul to shoot. You did a great job. The composition is really very nice, with the blue sky performing a great contrast.

I also like POV and DOF - f/10 worked well.

Thanks for the teachings on your note.
