Giraffe theme

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Dave, yes, even though he tried to eat his way to freedom.. Giraffes do not normally sit/lay on the ground becuase it takes them so long to get up but because there are no animals to eat them at monarto, they feel safe enough to relax..

Although the second shot of the giraffe with two heads looks unusual. :D

Here is the little bugger. You don't get a great view of the neck though!
Nice shots Virgs!

Slipped disc?
Glad to see that he is still going. There are a couple of vets hanging to do an autopsy on the poor guy when he karks it!
Nice shots Big V. The mutant gives a different perspective. Love Monarto, did you get to see the Cheetah’s in full flight?

the 2nd one is rather amusing...the composition makes it look like an alien giraffe (two heads) :lol:

the third pic makes the giraffe look rather solemn and wise with the wrinkles and frown.
