Twiga Rafiki Contemplates Sunrise

This is a little bit of a stretch for a nature theme for flash of red, but Twiga is a giraffe, and made of wood, so nature if not in the strictest sense.
Processed in Silver Efex and Lightroom.

In complete agreement with you and @olivetreeann - being creative means to bend the edges now and then . Twiga does look deep in thought.

Like I said on one of mine there are no FOR police so I think it works well for the challenge. I like to think of the weekly categories as suggestions.
