Giraffes of the Serengeti (Backyard Safari)

[Desi]

Here are a few more of my Backyard Safari series.

I'd love your ideas on how to make these better.

2. Escaping the heat

There is a branch that I don't like in the background. Also, too much dirt in the water. These are things I'll fix on the reshoot. Any other suggestions?

3. A detour to Greenland

I'm pretty happy with this except that I couldn't clone out the light patch to upper left very well with lightroom. Still have some circles there. It was a very light area in my background that I wasn't happy with. I'll fix that someday when I get photoshop.

My shooting time depends on my 4 year old daughter, as it is a project that I do with her. When she's done, we're done.
