Incredibly framed and stunning, warm, giraffe shot. I saw the thumbnail sketch on top20zoopix, and thought it was nice enough to click and see it bigger. I got to this one, noticed the baby giraffe, and was close to speechless. Delina

MiChaH says:

Thank you no1chrism for your nice comment and calling my picture a fav... (by you I made 200)!!

Re: I took my position and at that time I wondererd why all the other fotographers were standing at different places. I was alone in my position and I got some doubts about that....but I followed my heart and after a while my patience was rewarded. When I saw it on the screen I know I did the right thing..:-)
