Kissing reflection (b/w)

Sitting at the edge of the Okaukuejo waterhole, four giraffes appeared by the end of the afternoon. As giraffes are most vulnerable when they drink, they started scanning the surroundings for predators, then spreading their legs in order to start drinking, but jumping back up again, startled by the slightest sound. But after about one hour, all four mustered enough courage and drank, for a brief moment, jointly. It was a beautiful sight.
