"Seeing Double"

Sony a7v, f/10, 1/640, iso = 5000

Edits included dehaze, raise black, lower white, sharpen and generative crop to add more headspace.

This was taken in Lake Nakuru NP, Kenya in July. These are Rothchild's giraffes, identifiable because they have solid white from their knees down. They say it looks like they are wearing socks. It is very rare (and dangerous for both mom and calves) to give birth to twins and we were lucky enough to see these. They stood and posed as red-billed oxpeckers cleaned the mom of ticks, larvae and other parasites. A herd of cape buffalo are just over the horizon making this a complete African safari photo.
