Giraffes have for very obvious reasons considerable difficulty in drinking, here one spills some of its water.

Yes indeed, makes you wonder how much they actually have left to drink. Great shot Ken.

Interesting. Really good job capturing the water drop trail. Reminds me of a tornado "roping" out.

Cool S-curve Ken!

Unfortunately the busy BG does not help in isolating the water well.

Ken, love the flying water. I wish it stood out better. Did you try an 8x10 instead of 8.5 x 11 and crop it a bit tighter? I think you could eliminate a lot of the top portion of this and cut down on the amount of distracting BG.
