Hi, this is my first upload. I got a side shot of this giraffe while my family was visiting the Denver zoo. The camera I used to shoot this was the Sony Alpha 58 with a 18-55mm lens, I also used a UV filter, and a lens hood. I didn't use any zoom whatsoever because these guys were 5 feet from us, it's a brand new attraction at the Denver zoo which allows you to feed them lettuce. I was looking for some interesting contests to enter since my brother suggested that I try to be more outgoing and get my experience with photography, and considering I'm very young, I thought I'd go for it. Anyways, I thought this was a very nice photo for the It's a wild world contest.
