This photo was taken at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans on November 1st. This photo was taken with my Nikon D3400 camera using a 70-300mm Zoom lens. I edited this photo by bringing up the Brilliance and the Saturation and bringing down the Highlights and the Contrast. I think this photo could have better lighting that better frames the Giraffe’s face.

Oh my goodness! I saw this image and immediately know that I wanted to do my Blog Comment about it. I love how complex this image. I almost like the lack of depth of field. I like how everything is in focus and you kind of have to find the giraffe. Not to mention, the lighting is incredible. The hues and warmth and contrast and depth in the dark browns and blacks, it really contrasts nicely with the bright yellows and greens. It is perfect. With such an unpredictable subject, and I'm sure not in the most ideal environment, I don't have many critiques. Fantastic job!
I really like this photo! I think the depth of field really works in this image. The blurred background brings the focus of the image to the giraffe. I also think that all the colors in this image really work well together, and I like all of the different shades of green. The giraffes face does get a little lost with all of the branches. I think if there was a little more light on the giraffe this could be fixed. Overall, this is an awesome picture!

I really love this photo that you took! The Depth of Field is very good, with the giraffe in the photo being the only thing in focus (as it should). In terms of the color, I believe that you really made the brown colors in the photo really pop-out, without it being oversaturated which is good! The only critique that I have with the photo is the dark vs light areas. I feel like I can barely see the detail of the giraffe from the neck down, plus some other parts of the photo look a little bit too shaded as well. I'd suggest using more of the "Shadows/Highlights" tool in Photoshop the next time that you're editing a photo that's like this one.
But another thing, in terms of the aesthetic, that I like about the photo is the story that it tells. It shows the giraffe, obviously, but the photo also can let the watcher feel as if they're at the zoo and are looking straight at the giraffe. I would say that if the photo was a little bit brighter overall, I'd say that this photo would give me even more of a happy feeling than it does now
