(Giraffe shots 1/2) la famille de trois

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

G'day Dublya,
These are great, love #2, looks like they're posing for a family portrait :)

The pole's in an interesting spot in shot #3... Seems a nasty growth above and below the head of the middle giraffe :lol:

No. 3 fro me. Those guys actually I think it is one guy and two girls have the best view in the world. Not a bad substitute for being locked up in a cage for most of your life
If you did a bit of Photoshop masking you could get rid of the feeding tree and have a really awesome shot.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Was gonna say the same thing, that feeding tree is the only thing I would have changed about that picture. Well.. maybe I would have cleared up sydney's air a little.. ;)

That last one is superb, the background gives the image great perspective.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys and gals. I really like #3 too. I have some shots of the giraffes eating the carrots when the feeders were handing them out. There is a lot of tongue. I will post them up soon. Look out for them!
