Portrait of a giraffe
Portrait of a Masai giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchii) against a bright sky. This somewhat distorted POV happened when the large giraffe loomed over our safari vehicle against the featureless sky and swung its head back towards the camera, Mabula Private Game Reserve, Limpopo, South Africa. I liked the semi-silhouette against the very over-exposed sky.
