So cool, this and the zebras. I like that defiant face staring you down! Every camera bag should have a bean bag!
 
Great look from that giraffe! I like this image but I think I would prefer to see more detail in the sky, or to crop it out altogether - I find the big expanse of white drawing my eyes away from the giraffes.
 
@mooseontheloose Thank you for your comments. I took a series of this group, with the intention of assembling a triptych. I took a large portion of sky in every image and a strip of foreground, to try to match the proportions of three images and the tonalities. I've made prints from all acceptable negatives, but haven't figured out which three make a good-looking trio. Looking at these and previous images of giraffes, they all have a lot of sky. I guess I don't like to crop them "close to the roof" when I look through the viewfinder.
