Gorgeous light and just the right amount of fill light to see great detail in the giraffe. Well balanced composition too.

Nice balance, as Ed said. I do love the pinkish tones.

Hi Morkel, While you call this "Just a Giraffe at sunset...", I agree with the other comments on this shot - good balance. And by that I mean "balance in composition" and "balance in lighting (and lighting adjustments)". Good job on NOT over-doing the shadow retrieval! Cheers... Brad
