The Love of a Giraffe

Description

Photo taken in July, 2012 @ Natura Artis Magistra, Royal Amsterdam Zoo, The Netherlands

EDITED
I adjusted the angle to make it more straight.

I've always really loved this sort of photo, every time I saw one on the internet. To be able to get a shot of the mothering Giraffe leaning over her calf myself, was a real highlight :D
It's such a precious moment to watch between parent and kid, and I am so glad I managed to get my own version of it.
The biggest honor of all was perhaps a guy subscribing to DeviantART to ask my permission especially to use the photo for the birth card of his son :aww: He even send me one to show me how it turned out, and he really did it justice :)

Species: Reticulated or Somali Giraffe (Netgiraf)
