[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A giraffe that feeds on the shoots of acacia trees that protect themselves with long thorns, but this does not seem to be enough against the hunger of the dry season. Also from the Bandia nature reserve, Senegal.

Una giraffa che si nutre dei germogli degli alberi di acacia che si proteggono con lunghe spine, ma la cosa non sembra essere sufficiente contro la fame della stagione secca. Sempre dalla riserva natural di Bandia, Senegal.

Another elegancy arrived from miles away (Senegal) by Luciano wild life selections.
Great harmonies of colours and daylights well done LUCIANO GOLLINI

Here at minus Celsius I have to imagine the sweating African climate and here I see the giraffe bow down for the bushes, for a desert people this is strange that how a giraffe bites and eat the sharp stings. This is a beautiful nice catch and TFS.

Ciao Luciano,

Interessante la posizione di questa giraffa e bello vedere foto della fauna di questi paesi africani meno noti che l'africa orientale o meridionale.
E vedere che malgrado la crescita della popolazione ed il braconnagio si riesce
ancora a fotografare questi grandi mammiferi.

TFS

ciao Francesco

Hi Luciano
Beautiful pattern of this giraffe.
Some years ago I saw one of these in a zoo, but must be better viewed in the wild.

Tfs

Hello Luciano
Great shot to see this one very good
lovely colours and good sharpness
thanks gr lou

Ciao Luciano, gran cattura di una magnifica creature, gran bei colori naturali e splendida nitidezza, bravissimo, ciao Silvio

Ciao Luciano,
Your travel to Senegal was really fruitful, you came home with lots of excellent photos, what you didn't want to share with us. :-) This is again a fantastic one, I love the semi-diagonal line the giraffe's body is forming within the frame, sharpness, colors and lights are all very good, plus the texture of the giraffe's skin is very spectacular. I also like the acacia trees in the background, their bark have similar colors as the South American myrtle species Amomyrtus luma, what I often see here in the local arboretum. So, I have more than one reason why I love this photo. :-)
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, László

Bonsoir Luciano,

Tu as bien capturé l'action de l'animal. la prise de vue permet de voir les détails de la giraffe. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.
