EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment at the Paris Zoological Park in the Bois de Vincennes. In December 2013, as the park underwent extensive renovations, a group of giraffes gathered together, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of their open space enclosure. The composition showcases unity and instinct as one male giraffe stands tall amidst sixteen females. The Paris Zoo, inaugurated in 1934, had been closed for four years to undergo transformation. Scheduled to reopen in April 2014, it promises visitors new quarters for animals and enhanced information about their environment. This image by Charles Platiau beautifully conveys both the beauty and wildness of these magnificent creatures. Set against a stunning sunset sky with its warm hues illuminating their silhouettes, this low angle view emphasizes the grandeur of these gentle giants. The depth of field adds an atmospheric touch while highlighting every detail from their long necks to intricate patterns on their fur. With no people present in the frame, attention is solely directed towards nature's wonders – baby giraffes protected within this natural haven. Their black and white colors stand out against the sunlit surroundings, making them even more visually striking. Platiau's creative use of light and composition allows us to appreciate not only the individual beauty but also witness how harmoniously they coexist as a group. This photograph truly encapsulates nature's magnificence and reminds us why protecting such incredible species is crucial for our planet's biodiversity.
