This picture graces the cover of this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year annual along with the specially commended award in the competition. After twenty years of collecting and admiring the books, I now find that I’m on the front of one. Needless to say, I was quite delighted.

The potential for the picture was there when I saw this giraffe flick out his tail with the one on the horizon present, but I’d missed it initially. I waited for what felt like an eternity before he did it again all the more hoping the distant one would stay put. Eventually, the tail flicked out, everything else stayed in place, and I got my picture.

And I almost gave up myself, from fatigue from holding the heavy 400mm lens in position for the whole duration.

There’s more about the book and competition at WPOTY Portfolio 21.

On the last day of the trip we came to about this Family we spent 4-5 hrs to see these little once, since the cubs were less than 30 days old very hard to locate them as the mommy was hiding them & was sitting on a diff place & thr was guards also to protect them from too much disturbance.
But finally the guards agreed & gave only 2-3 min to see & come back.
The siting was really beautiful as soon the cubs heard the jeep noise they stopped playing & sat down to give pose as they knew we gonna take photos of them 😛
