Giraffe

Is this photo's main subject the beautiful and colorful sky or the giraffe in the foreground. I believe that both play an important role in defining this photo. When most people think of giraffes, they think of a deserted area that is pretty bland. But when you look at this photo, the sky and the setting sun jump out at you and show truly how beautiful the land that they inhabit is. The sun is lighting up the other side of the giraffe, making the side facing the photographer totally dark and lacking details. That is why I do not think that the photo is about the giraffe specifically, but more of the idea of the giraffe and where it lives.
