Mario,
I would have preferred a little more walk into space, it appears to be carrying a new one.

Hi Mario!

Like Ken, I also thought it was pregnant, but you said male Giraffe? frown

I like the tension between Giraffe and the tree.

I like the sweet warmth of the light and the simplicity of your composition.
