This isn’t Photoshop or AI. It’s real. About 30 minutes outside of Nairobi, Kenya, there is a 1930’s
English estate, now a B & B, called Giraffe Manor. They have been feeding giraffes for many, many years, and every day the animals come by hoping to get lucky. I saw and photographed two giraffes looking over our breakfast table before we sat down to eat. Their long necks were extended as they hovered over the food. It was amazing. I had the pleasure of feeding them out of my hands and felt their abrasive tongues on my skin grabbing the corn pellets I offered. I took this shot with a 16mm wide angle, and the settings were 1/125, f/16, and 3200 ISO.

Rohinton Mehta - Oh, how lucky you are to feed the giraffes out of your hands! I love the photo.
