Very elegant. This giraffe looks like a beautiful lady walking down the catwalk.

Believe me - shooting the rear end of wildlife is the default.
Getting another view is the exception!

Lovely image nonetheless.

Too true - there speaks the voice of experience!  Actually in this case I spent plenty of time with these guys and got shots from all sides but I liked that image the best.

Here is one from the side.

Damn right! I have a whole collection of what my wife calls "arse shots". Few are as good to look at as this one, though.
