Pretty clever manipulation Leslie. The onlyt hing I would like to see is a bit more light ont he head/neck of the giraffe. The colors are good and deep, good clarity and clever composition. Thanks :~)
I was drawn to the detail you put into the giraffe's skin... it increased the element of realism. As this IS a night scene, I personally like the lighting the way you did it. Good foreground and background, with clear fillers. My only critique is that the grass is a wee bit bright for a moonlit scene... a touch darker, more saturated, perhaps. Good job!
