Giraffes on the lookout - Maasai Mara Game Reserve

These are the same three giraffes from my previous post. Like I said in my comment on that image, they were three of five that seemed to be traveling together. This looks so posed to me. :-) In fact, I have seen statues from Africa that have three giraffes posed almost like this, in a circle. Thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated! :-)

Okay - so I know that this isn't the classic safari photo ... and probably works best when seen within a set of my giraffe shots. But my first five ratings are as follows: four 3/3's and one 7/7. LOL!! :-)

 

I don't usually care about the ratings ... I just like getting comments once in a while from people who don't usually visit my portfolio and submitting photos for ratings gets you higher visibility. So either this photo stinks and there's one yahoo out there who's blind giving me a 7/7 .... or the 3/3 people are ganging up on the rampage this evening ... or I don't know what. Hahahaha!!!

I think you did very well with a rather busy background/foreground. The giraffes nicely stand out against the green tones. Each giraffe is posed differently. I wouldn't give this a 3/3!

Great catch with each one scanning a different direction, probably for protection, have never heard of animals posing. The colours & definition are great. Well done, Lou Ann. Regards-Ross

Maybe there are 3 hyenas or asses out there who don't like giraffes. I'll help to raise the average.

 

I think this is a great shot for its composition but the background is a bit busy for the spotted animals. Still it is a very nice image and deserving of better than 3s.

Lou Ann, even the green is a bit busy, the brown Giraffes are well accentuated on that backdrop, and the composition is very nice.
