The sheer size of giraffes never fails to astonish me. They're strange animals, too — so weird they're almost disconcerting.

Like the focus on the pattern. An odd formation of coloration.
Thanks Zhoen. Strange — the pattern is usually considered camouflage, but it seems so striking. Maybe we see differently from other predators, or perhaps we only notice what we see.
did u apply any effects on the middle part of the animal? the pattern looks amazing. very good shot. I'm enjoying your South African visit so far :)
D.V.A., thanks. The pattern's certainly striking, and I found it interesting to note the difference between the pattern here at Kruger and later at South Luangwa in Zambia. I increased the contrast for the giraffe's body only, but didn't want to take it too far for fear of losing detail.
