For someone who's never been there an image like this is just mouth watering! I'd hang this in a minute!

I don't exactly know what it is, but IMHO this image is very powerful. The composition is very strong. I have never been there but to me this just says Africa as I imagin it to be. The only thing I would change, and it is a small thing, would be to clone out the bit of branches in the URHC. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice giraffescape! A couple of (small) nits: the dark line in the grass is unfortunate, as is the large tree in the bg touching on of the giraffe - that a personal obsession for me, hence I notice that sort of thing right away. Also, I'd clean up the urc (some branches sticking into the frame there) and play around a little bit with the color balance for the sky to make it look more natural. But like I said, there are minor nits - the overall image is very pleasing.

Beautiful aggregation of giraffe. I like the perspective your focal length has presented. I'm in total agreement with Marsel on his suggestions. I'm assuming that's a road cutting across the grass, pity. Still, an awesome photograph!
