Giraffe

This was the only sunny morning of my four at Zimanga, so I was thrilled to capture this elongated beast in warm light. I've been working to include a more habitat in my shots, so I'm really happy with this result. It helps that this individual was one of the darkest on the property. Gotta love that bold pattern against the backing hills!
