The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Young Giraffe at Sunrise
Specific Feedback
This photo was taken well before sunrise while heading out for a game drive. I shot it wide enough from where I was to frame the giraffe by the trees., as the smaller bush was not that interesting. As such, do you think the giraffe is too small in the frame?
Technical Details
100-500 mm lens at 128mm, 1/30, f/4.5, ISO 2500 and -0.7ev

Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Beautiful scene - nothing neater, to me, than a perfect silhouette of a giraffe against a gorgeous African sunset. The giraffe is not too small in the frame, imo - just perfect.
My only suggestion would be to move the giraffe left a bit, to off-center him/her.
Very fine work!
Lovely shot Richard, I’m okay with the framing, I do regularly frame an animal to one side or the other as Sandy suggests but because of the balancing trees right and left I think that this central position works.
I would however consider taking about a third of the foreground away and then adding a small amount of detail to what remains. Currently I just have a block of black at the bottom of the picture (although it could be my screen)
Sandy, Ryan, J Rajput and Ed: many thanks for taking the time to look and comment. I’ve added a pano which is a very welcome improvement. Thanks again.
