as they stand - they're both good shots, although the first looks somehow a little fuzzy around the nose - was it chewing or something? I disagree with antilived, there's not a great deal to suggest to the casual viewer that these are zoo shots, although there is something incongruous about the

giraffe/eucalyptus(?) combo in the alternative image :-). I'd like to see some serious noise reduction on the background before I'd support, though - the graininess isn't very pleasant on the eye and should be easily fixable. --

I thought I might try another shot from the Melbourne Zoo. This one shows a detailed head view of a Rothschild Giraffe. Although taken in the zoo, there is not indication that the giraffe is in captivity.

Some dust on two images, and how can the giraffes not in captivity when they are in a ZOO? Giraffe on their natural habitat (clichéd giraffe on African plane photo?) would be more enc. --
300:, has a GFDL license, but it appears to be scanned from a printed source - see the moirees! A possible case of copyvio and false licensing? Anybody cares to investigate? -- 98:" I meant the photo gives the viewer no indication that the image was taken in a zoo. Not that I couldn't find any indication that the giraffe was captive! -- 452: 391: 126:. As above, plus the bokeh is pretty ugly. That said, the image is sharp and exposed and framed well (though the background is a bit distracting).-- 17: 438: 420: 397: 366: 354: 322: 308: 292: 276: 263: 247: 231: 206: 186: 152: 143: 130: 118: 102: 85: 71: 281:
Since you ask, the blobs of sky behind the head. I'd prefer a more even BG, maybe only sky. (A natural habitat BG would be much better, like
255:. The distracting background kills it for me, seriously lowering the enc. Also, I don't think the background looks like natural habitat... -- 148:
Nope, I meant the bokeh, especially in the top right section with all the little circles. But hey, I know ugliness is a subjective quality.--
374:. The quality and encyclopedic value of the picture are good; I just wish it was a bit higher resolution, so I could see more detail. 284:- but I do realize that we can't ask you to got to Kenya just for a shot... ;-) Seriously, a sky BG would take care of that, right? -- 57: 180: 433: 381: 226: 201: 386: 413: 313: 41: 430: 377: 223: 198: 363: 175: 408: 139:
Ugly bokeh!? This is beautiful L class bokeh here! Maybe you meant the background noise? --

What particular part of the background do you find distracting? --
222:. Thanks for the edit, Fir - hope the fires are keeping away. -- 243:
Uploaded an edit which I think addresses your concerns. --
