This is an angle you don't see many giraffe shots in. Really up high here.
Where and how were you able to take this shot?
Promoted by originality:)
Ps. your 'SPW' watermark is a bit distracting in size here, just to let you know my humble opinion of it. Shot is great though. Posted 11 years ago
And thankyou for the comment about the watermark, I agree with you. Unfortunately I put it on all my south africa photos and now cannot remove it from the improved versions. I would have to go back to the original and redo all the improvements (contrast and sharpness) again before putting on a smaller watermark, and this is where my lazy side kicks in. I also only realised the watermark was too big when looking at the photos as backgrounds on my computer. Posted 11 years ago
