Perspective -- the giraffe is a majestic, beautiful animal and I was able to capture this moment, with a giraffe eating from the top of a tree. This was our summer (America), but winter in South Africa, thus the absence of leaves.Editing

It's about being there, and providing perspective. What I really like is the tree gives me perspective on the full beauty and size of this animal. It's like taking a picture of a building with nothing in front, or of a building with a car or something else that puts in perspective the size of the building.
