A giraffe crosses a river in the Masai Mara of Kenya during a downpour. Seeing one of these amazing creatures running in its natural habitat is among the truly great spectacles of our wild world. They are part grace, part gawk and wholly impressive. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 95mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/400th of a second.
