(Main) Contests->Breaking Rules
Uploaded for broken rules contest. It's important to know that there is no significant cropping from the original photo (only a small amount to match the upload dimensions). My subject was the texture and folds of the skin, not the giraffe itself. Even though I broke some key "rules," I think it's still a pleasant picture to look at. Rules broken - cropping, centering the subject.

If you want a place in the sun, prepare to put up with a few blisters.
Hmmmm. Also a little "poochy" in the tummy. Wonder if you've got an extra rule breaker here? lol Neat idea. Got my attention.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance...

Good idea, I wouldn't have thought of it. I like the contrast between the reddish brown giraffe coat and the green in the background.

Thanks for all the comments and thanks to Piner for the clever contest concept. I probably would've never thought about uploading something like this, but the picture's starting to grow on me ;-)

I like it! It made me smile. It's almost like the giraffe is just too tall and gangly to fit into one computer screen! Very fun.

Hey guys...check out my Gallery! I would appreciate your comments and advice! =)
It's the only way you could get the texture, pattern and folds in the shot well enough to study! It breaks just about every rule there is but the interest level remains so high that it works beautifully as an image. My favorite so far!

Haha! I couldn't figure out what in the world it was until I read the title...ok, so I'm being sarcastic! Your title made me laugh. Max marks for that alone.
Also, great capture and original compo. I can't say I would have thought to decapitate the poor animal, but it gives it an interesting twist!
Hope you do very well! Max marks from this viewer!!!

"There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."
If going for texture and and musculature of the giraffe, I would have gone a step further and maybe just shown the curve and folds of the neck along with the top of the leg.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
Well done Brett, I had hoped this would place highly in the contest.
