Soft colors and serene mood make this work for me.  In a perfect world sense, I would wish the bigger tree could be placed closer to the right edge of the frame for a subtle sense of compositional balance...and then maybe have those antelope (impala?) moved to somewhere in the background middle. sad  That said, of course it doesn't work like that and this is pleasing as posted.

Mario, lovely tones that match the colors of the Giraffe. It creates a rather dreamy scene. Beautiful!

Cheers,

Hisham.
