[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi, this picture was taken in the Serengeti Park Hodenhagen, Germany. I wrote about it in my last posting.
This photo was taken from inside the car.
I found it amazing how flexible these giants are. This beauty was actually standing at the edge of a small lake, drinking. The legs were stretched out widely to get down to the water when the back must've started itching. I certainly tried to capture the whole acrobatic figure but unfortunately I cut off parts of the hoofs. Therefore I cropped the picture at this height.

PP: cloned out a giraffe in the background, cropped and adjusted contrast and light.

I hope you enjoy the image.
Have a nice week ahead of you, Heike
