Matthew,

The shot is sharp and well exposed despite the harsh lighting conditions, however, it lacks a focal point. The giraffes look good enough but they are relatively small in the frame. Additionally, they all appear to be looking at something to the right but that something is not included in the shot. I'm not sure what that something was but perhaps you could have framed the shot with the giraffes more to the left and included their point of interest. An alternative may have been a closer crop on the giraffes, although that would work better if you had their attention.

Nice image ...... but needs the fence cropped out and also half the area on the left side, behind the animal......... then the shot will look a lot better

The image is too busy eg there are too many distractions inherent in the photo. This is where your 300mm lens would come in handy. (Maybe you were already using it?)

A tighter crop or a different angle of view would enhance this image.

Ozi.

Or maybe a decent crop around the 3 of them. I thought I just leave it as it is to gather more feedback. A 300MM would make be nice 450mm equiv. on a DX sensor. Any suggestions on make/model for a D90?
