My 100th on TE, a photo from Mpumalanga, East

Photographer's Note

Being in love with Africa my 100th photo on TE had to be from there.
This was taken at Kapama Game Reserve. We were driving along the roads when we spotted two adult giraffes in the bush. Their baby was right in the road. As we got closer the baby giraffe ran to his parents and they started to circle around him as to protect him from us.

Hello Maria,

Your wildlife gallery is astonishing. Your photographs reveal your deep devotion to Africa and its creatures. Here the infant giraffe, surrounded by giants of its species makes and endearing and poignant group photo. I am impressed by your focusing on the baby and cropping the grownups' heads. Congratulations on your 100th post.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hej Maria,
Congratz to your 100th. Beautiful shot and excellent balance. Difficult with animals, to ask them to stand in the right position, isnt it?
Enjoy your day
Stefan
