I found this giraffe at the Tuscon zoo on November 5, 2006. I like the shot because you can't tell it's in a zoo, and because the lighting came out just the way I planned (that doesn't always happen).
Shot on my Canon EOS 20D. ISO 400, 1/80s at f/5.6. 75-300 zoom at 190mm. Flash set to fire.
Simple processing in Adobe Photoshop CS2. No cropping was needed. Used a levels adjustment layer to get contrast right, then sharpened using the unsharp mask filter.
