Photographer’s Note
I took this picture while 'Walking with Lions' at Antelope Park, Gweru, Zimbabwe.
I zoomed in loads to get this shot, which has turned out a bit grainy.
None the less, I like the silhouettes of the Giraffe against the sunset.

Hi Sarah
you should avoid a direct shot of the sun, it is too strong
unless you use a filter or a very fast shutter speed
nice anyway, I like the silhouettes

Hi Sarah,
Nice backlight shot with beautiful sharp silhouettes. The colours are very warm and sweet. Yet, the sun is clearly overexposed, and you should maybe have tried to find a more appropriate place that could have hidden the sun, and make it less harsh...
Thanks for sharing ;o)

Hi Sarah,
too strong sun-but this is the only one bad thing in my opinion. The compo is very good. Silhouettes looks beautiful.
