The mother Giraffe was being very affectionate and rubbing her face on the young giraffe. I just kept snapping photos until I got this one, where they looked like they were sharing a special moment together.

I like the photo too, and I also don't pixel peep and zoom into grass blades and shit like that. Very nice photo, captured a cute moment. It's a matter of missing the forest because of looking at the defects of the individual trees. When I have to zoom into grass blades to know if I like or enjoy a picture then I don't think I will be enjoying many. Also pictures posted here suffer from compression problems it seems anyway. I for one like the photo.
