Bonjour Aires
Bien cadrée cette girafe au milieu des arbres. Très étonnée elle en reste la bouche grande ouverte. Les photos présentées sont d'excellent qualité et donne une idée des animaux présents dans ce zoo.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Aires
It's not hard to see how an optically challenged lion, could easily mistake the giraffe for a tree, with the mottled patterns of light & shade. The markings on a giraffe appear to be for camouflage, something that really isn't evident in a zoo. Tfs!

Olá Aires,
strange trees in Lisboa :-)
I like the colourful contrasts of this one against the deep blue of the sky. Excellent POV for that facial expression.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Ola Aires, I like it, I think here the idea of natural camouflage is very well presented as this giraffe seems to hide among the trees...:)

She look like singing! Good light and colors, nice sharpness... You easily could have off centered it, but still clean job!

Hola Aires,
simpática imagen pero de gran dificultad de realización. Las girafas no paran quietas, se mueven y muy rápidamente, por lo que resulta difícil caparlas bien ( lo sé por experiencia propia....), y tu Aires lo has hecho perfectamente.
Cuéntame el secreto para que la protagonista se quedara quieta ¿qué le diste a cambio? ;-)
Un abrazo, Jordi

Hej Aires,
A very good capture of this giraffe. The light is very enhancing and the blue sky works wonderful as the background for some warmer colours. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Olá Aires,
isso sim é momento decisivo, pegou a simpática girafa no momento que ela acordava, hehe. poderia entrar na categoria Humorístico também, pois é um animal bem engraçado esse. Boa foto.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Ciao Aires my friend!!
this one looks a safari picture!
I see that you manage your new camera very well, and zoo is the right place to check it. Here light is perfect in all the subject, and you captured the giraffa in a funny mood while eating, I suppose.
Ciao - have a nice Christmas!!

Hi Aires,
A new camera and a good one too ... how exciting. Nice capture but not as sharp though as I would expect from a Nikon. But neverthless, it is a good photo ... I like the way the giraffe almost blended with the tree. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

A very nice presentation with the head of the Giraffe between the branches of the tree.
Also the open muzzle give a nice composition, the zoo is one of the most beautiful places for take a photograph of animals.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
John.

Hello Aires,
I wonder what the big fellow is saying?
Is it possibly anything about Christmas?
Whatever, it is a lovely portrait!

An exotic capture with funny expression :) The luminosity is pleasant and the colors are well rendered. I also like to see the blue sky through the foliage.
I wish you all the best and a very good year!

Bonjour Aires,
nos amis les animaux ont aussi leur place sur TE, et surtout ceux qu'on oblige à vivre en dehors de leur biotope privilégié, un bien pour certains , une catastrophe pour d'autres.
J'aime beaucoup sa mimique, une photo prise au bon moment.
Regrds.
Daniel.

Bom dia Aires, esta já me arrancou uma boa gargalhada para hoje. Está um espectáculo e as árvores outonais (ou neste caso, invernais ;-) fazem um belo pano de fundo. O azul do céu faz um excelente contraste. O pássaro vermelho também está muito bem e a foca está mesmo a posar para ti ;-) Acabei de ver as fotos que enviaste. Tens lá umas fantásticas. Parabéns e os desejos de uma excelente 2008.
Até amanhã,
ricardo

Olá Aires,
Tens fotos bem melhores na tua galeria, mas não deixa de ser muito divertida e interessante. As ramagens contra o céu azul formam um padrão interessante e que curiosamente combina bem com a pelagem da girafa. Aquela boca aberta dá-lhe um ar algo humanizado, parecendo que está a falar.
As cores estão estupendas.
Um abraço, José.
