Necks WC672

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted February 19, 2015185 views4 comments

Thought this WC needed another animal representative to show off its patterns. Taken a year ago at the Naples Zoo in Naples, FL. I framed the shot just as you see it here because I liked the intersection of the necks while leaning down for a snack. Sharpened and increased brightness a bit in post.

Jim, I was waiting for someone to submit a zebra, or cheetah or giraffe! Thanks for not disappointing. I like the creative composition, the play of the feathery mane against the smooth hide and the sharp detail of it all. Nicely done!

Jim, I like this because it shows the giraffes in a horizontal composition instead of a vertical. Nicely taken. Thanks for sharing.

This is a way cool look at two giraffe's, Jim, the pattern mimicry and the warm tones work really well. I have to admit that it took a couple of looks before I realized what I was looking at. Yes, the mane is a great addition.
