Sandy, I like the direct look at you, the water drops and the pose. These creatures look so awkward in this position but it is part of them. I also like the log behind the giraffe. IMO it adds breaks up the transition from grass to the background in a positive way. Larger version is a bit better for the color, also IMO.

Unique pose. Really nice. I might try to selectively lighten up the giraffe. Well done.

I love the face of view of this pose. My biggest wish would be to see a little of the pool of water. As is, the falling droplets are key...and well captured.

Nice pose from this Giraffe Sandy. This really shows off how these tall ones have to bend down just to get a drink. I also like the head on angle and symmetry.
