I love giraffes (or giraffe?). This is one amazingly clear and detail image of his beautiful head. The tongue may be a 'bit too much information'!! but clearly he needs it as he has no salad tongs to grab his lunch! Oh its wonderful and as always the narrative just makes it! #1839287Mata Patan September 15, 2005
Black giraffe tongue!!!!!!Paul Sikora September 15, 2005

Spectacular catch with great detail, Dan! The Giraffe's long, prehensile, muscular tongue can be extended up to 18 inches!! May be a little too much information as well (LOL)!! Excellent imagery and timing!!Kerby Pfrangle September 15, 2005
Dan wonderful prespective and what a wonderful fun image. Salad seems to be the main course of the day for this giraffe.Super colors and love your timing.

Terrific capture Dan!!!Kate Jackson September 15, 2005
I love being right up there with the giraffe. And I love the way his head is reaching up, up and evermore up and the tongue is even up higher than his head. The only way I can get my tongue higher than my head is to lay on the ground and squash my nose in!! #1839923Margaret m. Buenneke September 15, 2005
