I usually do not manipulate my images except to ‘restore’ them to what I recall as the best representation of what I actually saw. This normally includes the adjustment of color, brightness, contrast, sharpness and some minor cloning and makeup work.
This picture is an exception. It is a merger of four images of a female Giraffe raising her head after she was finished drinking. An interesting study 🙂

Amazing photography!!! Loved it!
This is an amazing picture! Never seen anything like that.
Really cool shot. I love the merged image and how it captures the sense of action so well.
