Judy, I love this shot, well done, I adore these beautiful creatures so that might have something to do with it, but really it is a very well captured shot. The green of the grass wonderful up against the colurs of the giraffes. I know a little about Kruger National Park as my husband is from South Africa, big smile.

A beautiful Giraffe shot, Judy well captured. I like the one on TE as well that you just posted but still great wildlife shot to me Kruger's Girraffe Park is more like it! hehe ;-)

Hello Judy, this is a great shot considering the circumstances with which it was taken. Actually, your title is very apt, from the thumbnail it looked like a lot of dinosours with those long necks, and in a way, when the giraffe moves, it moves just like the dinosours in the movies. Anyway I like this shot, the bushes in the foreground give it a three dimensional feel, good depth.
Great work Judy.

It is a good shot! It looks like the giraffe version of the jurrasic park. Their positioning in the frame is great. They seemed to be well-choreographed.

WOW - We do have safari parks in Denmark (In fact many) but they will never be "the real stuff" - Wonderful line of animals you given us here Judy - thanks for sharing this fine image.

A great scene, and it appears you have their attention :) Definitely NOT a zoo picture ;) Well captured Judy.

Fun title for a fun image, Judy! Looks to me like they seem to be on some kind of alert - or maybe they just spotted the "paparazzi" ... Great wildlife shot.

It is true Judy, that it is fascinating to see them look in so many different directions. You would think they would pick up signals (sound, smell or whatever) the same way and react all the same. In this case they certainly seem to have gotten their signals mixed up. Maybe that´s whay it reminds you of Jurassic Park - it´s more like mechanical/computeranimated animals than real ones. A nice shot from a nature that we certainly don´t have up here.

This is great (too), Judy. So many giraffe sticking up from the bushes - like periscopes looking in different ways. And you've captured them in a great composition - I like this one better than the one on TE. It's also a very nice color combination with fresh green and the brown/yellow animals. Very well done!

Saturated colors and lovely composition. I love the deep color tones here.

Perfectly positioned into the shot, it almost looks like you've placed them yourself!

I also praise the pano format that contrasts with the natural vertical "format" of the girafe.

Perhaps a slight green overcast that enhances the bushes but that also looks weird in the skies. Nothing serious to really pick at, though.

You're right...it's not often one can snap 5 or 6 giraffes at the same time. I managed to snap ONE at Tsavo! I like (and at the same time am saddened by) your title...one day soon, these lovely beasts will, alas, take the path of dinosaurs. Man has just encroached too much!

Hi there. I love the 3D feel of this shot, with the greenery and the animals literally all over the frame! I also like the contrast with the nondescript color of the sky in the background. Its a pity about the "small" camera you had to use for this shot, but I think it looks great. Excellent title too!
