What wonderful pictures!!!! I really love the river and the Heron. I also like the Giraffes too! Heck they are all great! My personal favorite: the river in NH! Beautiful, just beautiful!

Thanks, everyone :)))

The giraffes were sent to me as just a straightforward pic of the herd, somewhat underexposed.

So, I tried to get the giraffes back to a natural color. Then I oversaturated the background and used three different gradients on the background to take it from duller to brighter, then I added the mosaic tile, then I added the sky.

It was really a lot of fun. The animals are so beautiful, I frequently found myself just staring at them.
