Giraffe & young one at sunrise, in Masai Mara.
Believe I happened to post this pic. couple of years back. But failed to check the box, to include it my gallery.
Thank you so much for tolerating this again!

Very nice Jagdeep. The colors are great and the fact that you captured mom and calf is a huge bonus. Perhaps a less centered version would improve this. In a perfect world, I would have preferred the young one's head not be directly in front of the setting sun. Well done.

I love how you cant make out much of the giraffe's and only see the silhouettes, also love the colors, great shot Jagdeep.

Really interesting shot Jagdeep. I like this a lot as posted, and I like a 1/5 crop off the top as well.

Hi Jagdeep,

Have to say I don't remember this one from before (which is a bit odd), but I like it just fine this time. I do wonder if moving off the centred composition would strengthen this shot a bit more (and I'd vote for slightly less room on the right, and more on the left). But definitely a solid image of a beautiful moment exactly as posted.

Cheers...

Brad
