Dear Doyle,
I was far from your foloio for long,and i missed some of the extraordinary shots of you.
Well this one is a very powerful and well-taken shot.
it has very great story line within. 2 big giraffe and the kid. wow,this is very romantic,and the kid's look is awsome.
You have captured a very priceless image of this wildlife,as dear Shirley mentioned.

Thanks for that.

Good luck ,and very happy new year full of exciting shots for you.

Cheers,
Ardalan.

Thanks Jan . . . and I agree about the line . . . but the feather here is already at 2px so I suspect it may be the harsh change in image and BG image resolution and exposure matching too . . . rather than the feathering. I'll have to look into it.

I love these funny creatures and think their faces are so expressive. Make a good subject for my camouflage series! The background replacement looks like it needs a wee bit of feathering as the demarcation between giraffe and the replacement background look a bit harsh.
--Best to you, Jan
