Techs are spot on as usual. What stands out for me is the positioning of the giraffe with reference to the foliage. It really demonstrates how large these beautiful animals are. The detail view for me is a must see.

Sandy: this is a very pleasing image which has good composition, detail and techs. I like the mixed backgrounds which to me place emphasis on the size of the giraffe. Its natural gracefulness shows through. Richard

Hi Sandy,
I agree with the previous comments that your POV really accentuates the true size (and incredible "tallness") of the giraffe. Nicely done. On a "standard" (non-retina) monitor the foreground grass almost appears to be a little over-sharpened...but that's a trivial matter in the "big picture" (and easily remedied).
Cheers...
